I have a brand new Debian Trixie install on a HP Spectre x360 G1 laptop running GNOME.
I want to enable Autologin as I don’t want to have to log it in physically on reboot to RDP to it - it is going to live under my house with my homelab.
I have already installed the lockscreen RDP extension to allow me to access it while locked - but that doesn’t allow RDP while on the login screen after a reboot.
I have edited the daemon.conf file to enable autologin - that works fine however when the laptop logs in it enables airplane mode - which defeats my whole purpose as I am connected via WiFi.
It is definitely the autologin setting that is causing this - when I disable it the problem goes away - when I enable autologin Airplane mode at login comes back again.
I have found lots of posts from earlier in the 2020’s with people complaining about airplane mode defaulting to on at login - but they don’t appear related to autologin.
Does anyone have any idea of why changing the Autologin setting is causing airplane mode to turn on?
