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?
