A couple of things related to this package:

  • If you upgraded from version 1.2.2-1 to 1.2.2-2, check folders /etc/systemd/system/ and /usr/bin (both as root), you should see a file named "add-autologin-group.service" in the former and "add-autologin-group.script" in the latter, since this new upgrade reverts the changes from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 after a lot of complains about it, you need to delete the files manually after stopping the systemd service first; it should mean no harm to any configuration on the system so you can delete them safely

  • If you upgraded from version 1.2.1 to 1.2.2, check the /etc/systemd/system/ folder (as root), you should see a file named "add-autologin-group.serv", rename it as "add-autologin-group.service", this is supposed to be a new service ported from the Manjaro team but somehow I slipped and I updated it with this issue, I already fixed it, but in case you see any "add-autologin-group.service not available" error, this is a manual solving situation. My apologies on this particular situation

  • It is the companion setting app for lightdm-slick-greeter (which I maintain also), if in the future it allows to check also on lightdm settings itself, I will remove or upgrade dependencies according to it

  • This package has nothing to do with the lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings, so you can have both installed (for now), if later I see that it allows to configure settings on any greeter (which I don't think that will be possible) I will think on making it a conflicting package

Any problems or bugs, you can explain it to me as detailed as possible so I can try to test it and/or report it to upstream
