Hi Daniel,

The machine that had this issue has been fully shutdown and rebooted
countless times since that directive was added to the environment file
which was added almost a year ago.

I cannot explain why *this* version of gdm3 caused the automatic login
issue to fail.

Is it possible that one of the dependencies that was updated along with
gdm3 created the incompatibility? For example, gir1.2-gdm-1.0 or libgdm1

Title:
  Automatic Login with gdm3 amd64 46.2-1ubuntu1~24.04.3 [335 kB] is
  broken.

Bug description:
  The following updated packaged were offered:

  gdm3 gir1.2-gdm-1.0 libgdm1

  Upon installing these updates and rebooting, the Desktop could not be
  reached. Black screen only.

  Subsequent restarts were not successful.

  Shutting down works when triggered from Oracle VirtualBox v7.1.12.

  Accessed Ubuntu's Recovery Console and removed the Automatic Login
  entries from /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and rebooted.

  Was able to reach the login screen and once logged in, was able to
  reach the Desktop. This was repeated several times without any issues.

  Conclusion is that Automatic Login with gdm3 amd64
  46.2-1ubuntu1~24.04.3 is broken. In this case, disabling Automatic
  Login (Settings: System: Users) fixed the issue.
