Auto login to X

http://forums.opensuse.org – I'm trying to set up an autologin on an OpenSuse minimal install of 11.2. So, no Gnome or KDE, just X and TVWM. I tried setting this up in via the Display Manager setings in the SysConfig editor, but that didn't work. Does this have to be scripted somehow (how?) or is there another setting in Yast which will do this? Thanks (Distributions)

openSUSE 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4 release 2.

I can change the desktop theme and the splash theme, but I can not change the KDM login manager theme.

First, I changed the setting /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME from suse to nothing in Yast -> /etc/sysconfig editor in order to get rid of the ugly Suse login theme. That resulted in having the traditional KDM login theme with th

Using Yast2 I have been able to change the login screen from the default SUSE theme to the "circles" theme. I would like to change the welcome message from "Welcome to 'hostname'" to something more inviting, say: "A Warm Welcome to OpenSuse Linux".

Ive recently installed OpenSuse 11.2 and chose to install gnome with KDE4. Having done so i'm using kdm4 as the display mgr defined in /etc/sysconfig/display manager. However kdm4 reveals all the user names which I don't really like. Ive tried others including console. After logging in manually ive typed startx gnome which fails.

OpenSUSE 11.3 Installaion 2 years 48 weeks ago

Hello.

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.

I have installed xfce4-power-manager when I was setting up my minimal Ubuntu install and I configured everything at that time. Since then (couple of weeks ago) I never launched it again. When I just closed my laptop and opened it again, I noticed it didn't went into hibernation - which I had setup in xfce4-power-manager.

I'm trying to create my own Ubuntu LiveCD without Unity. When lightdm loads is says (Failed to load session "ubuntu"). The autologin fails and then lightdm reloads with a normal login screen.

I can login fine with ubuntu user and if I run "sudo x-session-manager" I still get the error message (Failed to load session "ubuntu").

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?
