I have auto login enabled, and I just upgraded to 11.04. When I boot, I get a message saying that I don't have the hardware required to run Unity, so I should choose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen. The problem is that auto login bypasses the login screen, and I can't disable auto login via the normal route since I can't start xwindows.
I'd like to achieve following:
no gnome-desktop
auto login a user and load .bashrc
auto startx and run my custom chromium
Now:
I'm able to start with text only, by adding "text" into /etc/default/grub
I'm able to login root, by editing /etc/init/tty1.conf (ref1)
but how to login as another user?
Heya guys,
I am wondering if there is a nice and easy way to get XBMC to auto-startup on login without kicking off the underlying window-manager (eg, gnome/KDE).
I can get the user XBMC auto-logging in using either KDM or GDM (the initial login managers), but I don't really want to have to wait for KDE/gnome to load before XBMC is kicked off.
Just wondering if there was a simple solution
When installing 11.2, I chose not to enable auto-login during the install process. I have now tried to enable it through the System Settings menu, but the changes do not take effect. I've checked and rechecked and restarted numerous times, but still auto-login will not enable. I've also tried changing the login splash screen, but upon reboot, nothing has changed.
Anyone have any ideas?
Oneiric
Gnome 3
Under my name in upper righthand corner. System Settings > User Accounts
Switch Auto Login
I go thru the step to allow me to turn it ON. But it is turned OFF when I return.
It will let me change my icon and password but not the auto login.
The lock in the upper corner is open but the curser hover window says dialog is locked.
Hello, I am running Fedora 17 i66 on an hp compaq nc6320. This is used as a remote server so I have no use for the graphical interface and am interested in running in mutli-user mode (level 3). I'm able to boot into this mode successfully (having changed the default systemd symlink). However, when I perform a reboot I must log in as a user in order to fire up the network connections.
I know Ubuntu and most of the herd are now using lightdm, but Jeremy Bicha's Ubuntu GNOME Remix uses gdm.
During the most recent install I did not select auto-login.
Auto login was working fine then a bad reboot messed up nvidia drivers. Needed to reinstal. Now won't auto login I've edited the lightdm.conf file but tbh it was already set to auto login to xbmc as in the Ubuntu FAQ. I don't have easy access to the USB ports so if I can some how reenable this feature over ssh, that'd be great.
