I found a post online on how to setup my user account to auto login after a reboot. Just as the gentleman in the post i found, I am also having problems after the reboot, Fedora wants me to unlock my keyring by entering my password. There was no answer to this on the post i found so I'm hoping i have better luck here. I can't remember what i had to do to perform the auto login, i will have to re-trace my steps, but if anyone would like to post the method they use to auto login i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

i recall there was a bug with the program to control this in fedora 12 and they removed it from the menu.
add something like the following to your /etc/gdm/custom.conf (this assumes your username is bhay):
Code: Select all
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=bhay
If instead you want timed login here is what you do:
Code: Select all
[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=bhay
TimedLoginDelay=1
