Description Frédéric Parrenin 2017-11-20 10:32:54 UTC 
On my dell latitude E6420, ubuntu 17.10 with Nvidia drivers, automatic login does not work.
It does work when I set WaylandEnable=False in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf.
Is there anything the gdm developers can do about it?
Comment 1 André Klapper 2017-11-20 10:45:11 UTC 
Please provide "nvidia driver" information and describe what "does not work" means exactly.
Comment 2 Frédéric Parrenin 2017-11-20 11:43:13 UTC 
I use Nvidia binary driver version 384.90.
Automatic login does not work: I get the gdm3 login screen asking my username and password.
