Why does the login screen show an "Automatic logout" message when no one is logged in and then GUI crash?
Issue
- When left idle and no user logged in, workstations are displaying
Automatic logout
You will soon log out because of inactivity.
- The GDM session is logged out after the timeout period passes with no input and the GUI will terminate, leaving a blank screen at the console.
