My girlfriends system was set up with autologin enabled.



Disabling it (Settings > Details > Users > Unlock > Automatic Login slider to off) causes the boot process to halt and freeze the system (can't get into any consoles, hitting ESC before freeze during boot shows just a non-blinking cursor on an empty screen).



The workaround:



  • Boot in safe mode (hold shift during / shortly after BIOS/UEFI)

  • Advanced boot options, recovery mode

  • Resume boot once asked

  • Renable autologin (Settings > Details > Users > Unlock > Automatic Login slider to on)

This works fine, but normal boot still does not. Re-enabling automatic login fixed all problems.



I tried various things including commenting out all autologin-lines in the GDM3 config, dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 and more, but nothing seems to fix it.



How can we disable autologin and not make it crash?
