https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hi, I was an happy LXDM user until the latest update, LXDM 0.4.1-11. When I logoff, then try to shutdown the computer from LXDM, LXDM just restart itself, and my computer does not shutdown.I start LXDM through /etc/inittab, shown bellow # # /etc/inittab # # Boot to X11 id:5:initdefault: rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single rm:2345:wait:/etc/rc.multi rh:06:wait:/etc/rc.shutdown su:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin -p # -8 options fixes umlauts problem on login c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 -s 38400 tty1 linux c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 -s 38400 tty2 linux c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/age (HowTos)

I always used inittab method and are using it now./etc/inittabid:5:initdefault:

I found that, in /etc/inittab, this modification (-a username) for the user u disables the login/password check for all tty:s:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty2 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty3 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty4 5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty5 6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty6

That would be great fo

Inittab configuration 1 year 6 weeks ago

I am installing BusyBox on a device that does not have keyboard or serial connection, so I log into the system with SSH. I am in doubt about what to put in the inittab file.

I ended up adding /sbin/reboot to /etc/lxdm/PreReboot, and /sbin/poweroff to /etc/lxdm/PreShutdown.It's more of a workaround than a solution, but it seems like the easiest and most effective solution so far.  No problems with it yet.

Hello everyone,

Note that I started off with a minimal system and installed software from that system.

Also, note that this problem occurred in a Virtualbox guest system.

Anyway, when I log in to that system, I start off with a console screen. I don't boot into LXDM like I'm supposed to. I did use systemctl enable lxdm.service to try to boot into LXDM, but that didn't work.

LXDM, getting to be usable 33 weeks 18 hours ago

Could someone please walk me through the changes I need to do to get LXDM working? It's on my computer, and I have two users, but it keeps loading to me, and I want it to default to the other user.

My goal is an Arch based HTPC which on one tty runs XBMC and on another runs a minimalistic desktop (mainly for web browsing).

I haven't yet started on the XBMC slice of the pie, but at the moment it automatically logs in to the desktop user's account via

c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -a USERNAME -8 -s 38400 tty1 linux

then via ~/.bash_profile it does a startx which does a startxfce4.

Hi All,

I installed lubuntu 12.04 64 bit and while installing I checked 'autologin" option but now I do not want this feature.
