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?
I migrated from 11.1 using KDE 3.5 to 11.2. Even though I have auto login enabled, I get the sign-on screen. The reason, I suspect, is that somewhere KDE 3.5 is being invoked as a system choice. Before the login screen, a window pops up saying the system cannon access /opt/kde3/share/apps/themes/SUSE. I have to click on "ok" in the window and only then the login screen appears.
I have written an article about how to customize the Ubuntu login screen. After you edit the login screen, you may want to share your work on blogs and forums. However, you simply cannot just press the print-screen button to take screenshot of the login screen in Ubuntu. To do so, you can use a workaround command to preview the login screen and take screenshot of it.
I am trying to force numlock to be on upon initial boot at the login screen on Ubuntu 12.04
The only solutions I have found so far switch numlock on only after initial login.
I'm looking to force numlock to be on when the login screen is displayed, and before the user has logged in.
Can anyone assist?
EDIT:
NOT an exact duplicate, as I need numlock on BEFORE I login not after.
I just did a clean install of 11.3 over my dual boot xp/11.2 system and kept my home directory. When I booted the system a console box came up. I then disabled auto login and rebooted. The login screen showed two users, 1- Tom and 2- Root. When I login as Tom the console comes up and when I boot into Root the GUI KDE system comes up.
If you want to setup your system in a way that it will auto login to a user account without passwords and without the login screen, then this tutorial will show you how to do it.
I am on Fedora 16 KDE spin. Yesterday I ran the fsck command and that broke things. I can login via the tty, so I guess it has nothing to do with the shadow file. The login screen reappears after login no matter how many times I try to get past it. The permissions are the same as before. Also I have tried renaming the .kde folder. Doesn't help. This affects all the users, even root.
Title says all. When I choose shut down or hibernate if my computer has been on a while, it just goes to the log-in screen. If I choose the shut down option there, it does nothing. It only happens if I leave it on for a while. I do not have auto login enabled. I am running 11.10 ( with all the latest updates). I can shut down using the terminal. I am a Linux newbie, so please help. Thanks!
