Debian Multimedia :: Autologin With SLiM Display Manager?
Mar 30, 2011
I have already tried editing /etc/slim.conf and making the "Automatically login..." look like this: auto_login yes default_user<username>
BUT nothing I've tried has work.

I've built a system and installed Debian 5.0.7 on it, the one thing I'd like to do is to get it to autologin at startup. I've changed my /etc/inittab and ~/.bash_profile as per the instructions in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29333
so that they look like this:
/etc/inittab:
# /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration.
# $Id: inittab,v 1.91 2002/01/25 13:35:21 miquels Exp $
code....

I have installed VLC on two computers of mine on which Sid is running. Both computers are updated to the latest version of Vlc being 1.0.6.
Now the weird thing: on my laptop Vlc runs without any problem. But on my desktop every movie, clip or whatever gives a tall, slim view on the left side of the application window. I really can't find any setting that might cause this.

I was trying to set up my Xfce desktop on a fresh install.
I personally dislike Xdm, which is given as the default login manager, and would prefer to use Slim instead.
It is possible to install it using the Package Search feature (it's listed under the Contrib repository), but I haven't been able to set it as the default login manager (I wasn't able to find such a setting in /etc/sysconfig).

I had Slim working with the latest -Current updates, but that was with a package I built before updating.
I borked my system yesterday and had to do a fresh install. Now I can't get Slim working.
I tried running the Slim SlackBuild from Slackbuilds.org, and it failed without giving any errors. I figured out that the problem was with this section:
Code:
The strip commands were failing and caused the SlackBuild to exit, so I added '|| true' to them.
Code:
Not sure why this is needed in -Current and not 13, maybe because of Bash 4.1?
Anyway, now the package builds successfully, but Slim won't start. My system just hangs at a black screen after 'Starting up X11 session manager'...Has anybody been able to get Slim working in -Current?

I've been on 11.2 KDE for about a week (clean install). Previously on 11.1 Gnome. Everything's great except I can't get Autologin to work consistently. It worked perfectly in 11.1 Gnome! In 11.2 KDE sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I set it up as root in both Yast and System Settings.

I have created a custom linux distro originating from the ubuntu server edition and have slim as the login manager, and openbox as the window manager. When it goes into power save mode and turns off the monitor and I move the mouse to wake it up it just goes to the shell with a mouse cursor on it. How can I get it to go right back to the openbox window manager?

Running Compiz as a standalone WM.Managed to get Slim working, will post how later, but have no sound. If I boot using gdm3 the sound works. Obviously gdm3 loads something Slim doesn't, but can't workout what!Tried adding /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog & to my script - no dice, still no sound

yesterday i installed slim login manager on my computer (eee pc 1018p, ubuntu 11.04), and now it cannot get passed the ubuntu loading screen (with orange dots underneath) when booting. i tried booting into recovery mode and that didn't work either. i also left the computer trying to boot overnight and that didn't work.
basically, during this loading screen that should eventually bring you to the login screen, i can alt+tab to see the progress of the load. the progress is stuck on
Is there anything I can do from grub to remove slim?or, is there any way I can access my ubuntu partition and save all my files?

I've successfully installed Debian testing (squeeze) on my old iMac G3. I didn't select a desktop environment as a preconfigured package, but only left "standard system utilities" checked.Once I rebooted, I logged in as root (on the command line) and ran "apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies gnome-icon-theme xdm", let all that pull in and installd then rebooted. As the system was booting, I could see all the services starting and whatnot, but when it gets to the line "Starting xdm..." the screen changes to black, but stays black for a good 2 minutes. I tried hitting some keys on the keyboard, as well as typingy login credentials, even though I can't see them, but nothing seems to work. I've tried rebooting several times

Well after messing with compiz Opacity I managed to make all panels and windows transparent. Only thing I see is desktop background and icons. Tried ctrl+although+f1 and running gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz
Then a reboot. Same issue. Next ran metacity --replace I get: Windows manager error: Unable to open X display

Despite having the Gnome Power Manager set to put the display to seep after 30 minutes, it always happens after 5 minutes. The display will go blank but still lit, and then it powers off after the 30 minutes. Surely, if I set it to 30 minutes, the display should power off then, and not just blank after 5? I have no screensaver packages installed so it's nothing to do with that.

I have Debian Testing. I am testing XFCE and LXDE and i want to use display manager other than GDM. I have tried SLIM and XDM but when i use them i can't mount partitions and USB through Thunar, PcMan or Nautilus - i get message that i am not authorized (if i do groups in terminal - adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev games fuse powerdev netdev lpadmin scanner sambashare). When i install GDM everything works fine. I have installed FUSE, HAL, Udev,...I have tried a lot of stuff from AcchLinux forums but nothing worked really.

I'm running Debian + LXDE in a VirtualBox. Here are the details:
Code: Select all➜ ~ hostnamectl
Static hostname: debian64
Icon name: computer-vm
Chassis: vm
Machine ID: #############################
Boot ID: ###########################
Virtualization: kvm
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid
Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64
Architecture: x86-64
I really would like to jump into my desktop environment when I start my machine without the need to enter my user name and password. Apparently this is very easy to do. I added the following lines to my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Code: Select allpam-service=lightdm
pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin
autologin-user=username
autologin-user-timeout=0
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
And also added my user to the autologin group
Code: Select allgroupadd -r autologin
gpasswd -a username autologin
As you can imagine, it didn't work. Otherwise I wouldn't be here... I also tried to install Slim and enable autologin adding the following line to the /etc/slim.conf
Code: Select allauto_login = yes
That didn't work either!
Am I missing anything? Enabling autologin in LXDE?

I have succesfully installed Debian with gnome-core, iceweasel and other useful packages and also followed this guide to autologin and start X. I noticed that the sudo chmod +s /sbin/halt and adding /sbin/halt
in ~/.bashrc made Debian refuse me to log out (from X) and 'log out' turns off the computer insted.Removing /sbin/halt from .bashrc turned everything to as i want it. Should I "repair" or remove something I created with chmod +s command or should I leave it as it is?
Also I would like apt-get(or aptitude) update to run after login (and before startx), so i added sudo apt-get update to .bashrc but it will prompt me with password. Is there someway I could do this without the password(s) which su/sudo needs to execute? This is not so important but it would be very nice to update the system on startup.

How could xorg be set-up such that different monitors work with different DPI but still compose the same extended display?
I have a 15 inch laptop display extending to the right the main display which is 23 inch. The resolutions are comparable, but the difference in pixel size is very large. Thus, either the external display has too large fonts and UI, or the laptop one has them very small. Moving them at different distances is not entirely possible.
xrandr info:
eDP1 connected primary 1920x1080+2048+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
VGA1 connected 2048x1152+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm
I heard that Windows has a hack (which I can't check) for extending displays with different pixels sizes: it computes in which of the displays a window has most of it's surface and sets the DPI for that window based on that. Thus a window will change DPI when crossing monitors, (and will look too small/large on one of the monitors if it is in the middle).

I am using xfce4 and in this image
The top bar only shows the bottom half. the bottom bar only shows the top half. i also can't see anything after the r in centre on the right. part of the initial picture on the left also does not display.
My thought is that the tv it has a resolution of 1920x1080 and this is causing the issue. i have this in my xorg.conf:
Code: Select allSection "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080_60 +0+0"
[Code] ....
The graphics card is
Code: Select all02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8300] (rev a2)
Changing metamodes to 19200x1200 doesn't change anything.

I've been dual booting Lenny and Squeeze but after replacing Lenny with a fresh Squeeze using ext4, the video display has been strange. The effect is similar to running a live CD, where a click does nothing for a few seconds while the CD winds up and gets to the application, but slower than that. Sometimes the display has patches of several windows all mixed up, zig zag patterns like a TV that is too far from a transmitter to receive a good signal and sometimes the mouse freezes in moving around. When I boot and don't start X, everything works perfectly, no delays, no messed up windows.
My video is ATI x1300 with Radeon driver. What is the best way to get the system to use only vesa, to see if that works, instead of ati or radeon? is possible to use grub.cfg or /etc/defaults/grub or /etc/grub.d/ ? I couldn't find any reports of problems with Xorg used by Squeeze, so it seems to be the ATi driver or the radeon driver.

I have an ATI Radeon 5850 card with 2 17" monitors, plus a 46" TV via HDMI (disabled, except for BD plaback under windows) under Debian 6.0/Squeeze. When I first installed this system, it worked fine with all 3 screens (only 2 enabled at a time). Sometime in the past few weeks though, it's decided to revert to a single-display setup. I can't find any errors in the logfiles, and it works perfectly fine when I re-enabled the secondary display via the ATI Catalyst Control center.
The auto-generated xorg.conf isn't configured to use the second display (even after re-generating one using "aticonfig -initial=dual-head"), and it is not being modified when I change settings in the Catalyst Control Center.Updating display settings after every boot is just a bit annoying.

sshd is openssh-server 1:5.5p1-6.
I'm getting "Can't open display" all the time when I log in the server through ssh.
penguin@theblue:~$ xeyes
Error: Can't open display: laptop:0.0
penguin@theblue:~$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.101:0.0
penguin@theblue:~$ echo $DISPLAY

The problem I found is sshd server set DISPLAY to localhost all the time.

Background: I am running Debian 8 with the Xfce DE on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop.
When at home I will connect my laptop to an external display. I did the same while I was running Ubuntu; however, with Ubuntu I could activate my laptop display by simply disconnecting the external monitor. With Debian + Xfce, unplugging the external monitor leaves my laptop screen blank.
In order to activate my laptop display, I have to open Display settings, turn on laptop display -- which still leaves my laptop screen blank -- and then switch resolution: there are two listings for 1366x768 under resolution, and only the second one restores my laptop display. Please note that if I have both displays on at the same time the size of the output on my external monitor will be reduced to about the size of my laptop's display.
I would like the create a Bash script which can automatically switch between my displays. After some Googling it seems like xrandr is the tool I need for the job. However, I have been having trouble getting it to work.
I tried the command Code: Select allxrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output HDMI1 --off. This however just turns my external display off without turning on my laptop's display. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that LVDS1 has two modes at 1366x768; perhaps only one of them can actually display? I'm not sure, but anyways here's the output of xrandr:
Code: Select allScreen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
1366x768 59.99*+
1360x768 59.80 59.96
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
[Code] ....
Is there a way I can specify that xrandr should use the second 1366x768 mode?
I just realized that the second mode is, in fact, 1360x768 rather than 1366x768...
The good news is that I fixed my problem. It turns out that my backlight was not turning on, giving the appearance that my laptop screen was not displaying anything.

Noticed that gdm 3 updated to new version (2.30.5-1) which displays nice avatar for each user on the login prompt. Now there seems to be only placeholder pic for every user on this computer, but of course I want to have real picture there to greet the users. So the question is, where can I change the pictures?

I am trying to run the SDK for Meego with Qt. When I try to launch my simulator I get the error message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". The answer I got on Meego's forum is that I am missing glx extensions. I have tried to find a way to get the glx extensions but I do not seem to get it. My searches on the web all point to Nvidia, but I have got ATI. I run Lenny 5.0.6 amd64.
