[mythtv-users] Ubuntu Edgy Wiki

[David Fishburn]

I am following the instructions at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Edgy_Backend_Frontend

This is my first Myth install so just need a bit of clarification.


###########
Start gdm. Choose openbox for your session. The login is very quick, almost
instantaneous. Be sure to login as your normal user, and not the mythtv user
(The mythtv user is only used to run mythbackend).
      sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

Right click the desktop and choose the terminal. Run gdmsetup to configure
an automatic login for the mythtv user as well as a time delayed login if
you logout. This will make the bootup a lot more streamlined (especially for
HTPC use)
      sudo gdmsetup 
############

In the screen captures of the gdmsetup, the show to set the "Enable
Automatic Login" to "superm1".

The above says:
- "The mythtv user is only used to run mythbackend"
- "Run gdmsetup to configure an automatic login for the mythtv user"
- "Enable Automatic Login" to "superm1"

So which is it?
Should we automatically login the mythtv user?
This machine is being used as both the backend and the frontend.

TIA
