I am geting a bit confused regarding the autologin of a user , and in need of help desperately. Could anybody please help me with the below queries :
How can we set autologin for any normal user in RHEL5 ? Also, How can we then logout such a user later, as we can't logout such user normally ? How to set timeout for such autologin users ?
Code:
# cat /etc/init/tty.conf
# This service maintains a getty on the sepcified device.
stop on runlevel [016]
respawn
instance $TTY
exec /sbin/mingetty $TTY
exec /sbin/mingetty --autologin user tty1
when i use this conf I'm auto logged back in again , and cant't execute any command
commenting pre-last line has no effect.
How to enable autologin on desired tty for certain user?
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'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.

I set the default os to boot as windows 7 with a timeout of 1 second. I thought that this would be enough time to switch os ubuntu when i need to, but I am unable to. How can i reset the timeout to 3 seconds? I also cannot view the ubuntu partition within windows because of ubuntu's file system.

I have a web application that runs through thousands of IP addresses and checks if they're online. Basically, if a server uses more than 250ms to respond, it's considered offline in our case. It would be an enormous timesaver if we could get the ping command to give up after about 300 ms, instead of what seems to be the minimum value of the -W parameter, 1 second.

Running openSUSE 11.2 with Gnome. After a relatively short period of time, screen goes blank, and when I click on it, I get presented with password prompt, and when I enter it, I'm back where I left off. I don't see how to change this, and all the time I've spent so far in YaST trying to find out where this setting is kept and how to change it has been wasted effort. So now I'm asking: how do you change this to something a little more reasonable?
I'm taking an online SuSE LINUX class, and as they cover different topics, I jump over to the Linux system (which I have running in a vm under VMWare server on W2K3) and try stuff out, and most of the time I have to enter my password because I was away too long.
here is my grub.con

I have written simple TCP server-client programs in 'C' on my RHEL 5 64 bit.I want to add SEND and RECEIVE timeout for this socket; so that if server is not responding in given time, request will get timeout instead of waiting in "recv" call.But I failed to do so.

I managed to get the Tiny Core image loaded onto a 128MB CF card. When I turn the box on, it presents me the Grup screen and I can select the bootup option (tinycore). However, soon after I am getting a DMA Timeout Error.

In 9.04 this worked. Log out and in 10 seconds a default user logs in if no keys are pressed. I need this in 10.04. This is great for my Mom's PC. When one of her grandchildren visits for the weekend they can log Mom out and use their ID, bookmarks games etc. Then when they finish they logout and the PC logs Mom back in. Mom doesn't have to fish around for a password. She's 81 and I try to make things easy for her. In both 10.04 and 9.04 I have /etc/gdm/custom.conf with
Code:
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=ridgeland
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=ridgeland
TimedLoginDelay=10
In 9.04 log out and in 10 seconds it does an autologin. With 10.04 log out and it goes to the select a user screen and stays there. Where is the configuration file? What do I change? Disable something like SELinux?
Owned linux laptop (running UBUNTU) for 1.5 yrs. Love it. No problems... until:
1. I changed my password, via System - Admin - User & Groups - Properties. (I just typed 2 characters on the end of the old User Password and the Confirmation password and OK'd it all.
2. Shut down laptop. Upon restarting it (only minutes later), neither the new pw or the old one worked.
3. Googled for help on another machine. Booted linux laptop up in recovery mode and used the passwd <?> command to reset pw (back to the original one!).
4. Shut down. Started laptop up again... forever more firefox runs like a dog. Normally (90% of the time) it times out before reaching a page, though it is trying to transfer the data.
Let's be clear about this. It was fine. The very next time I used firefox - minutes after the password debarcle, it was cac, and has remained cac ever since.
I've been whizzing around on firefox for over a year without any issues. There have been no changes to the router. My microsoft laptop has no issue with the internet so it cant be router or telco related. Though I did reset the router (power and phone line) just to be sure. It didn't help.
I clear the private data (Tools menu) in firefox regularly (daily-ish). That is the only housekeeping I do on this machine. (It only gets used for mail, internet and the odd simple OpenOffice document). There is stacks of space left (70 Gig). I'm not sure how to check memory.
Googled for help and tried some command to purge temp files. That didn't help.
I love my linux laptop, but currently I'm having to resort back to my windows one.
I have fedora version 8 with mysql 5.0.45 installed. I have also installed drupal. Recently drupal gave me an error "error code 28". When i checked it out it seemed to be with the db. When i tried to created a db (for testing purposes) in root...i wasn't able to. so then i tried to restart mysql ...it stopped but unfortunately i have not been able to get mysql back up...i get a message saying
"Timeout error occurred trying to start MySql Daemon".
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

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 created a ubuntu distro that originated from ubuntu server and have an xserver installed with openbox and am having problems getting autologin working. I had slim installed and everything seemed to be working except as soon as the monitor went into sleep mode and I moved the mouse to get it back it just came up to the shell again. With that problem I decided to remove slim and go with NODM and that worked perfectly for what I wanted but I was messing around with a few other configuration stuff and when I rebooted everything was fine until after the splash when it would normally boot into X it would show the shell for a about 10 seconds before it would boot to X.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a couple of nagging issues that may or may not be related to each other. First, although I have this machine set to log me on automatically (I'm the only user ever and there's no public access) it doesn't; I get the standard login welcome screen. In the system menu (from Applications) I have two login managers: "Login Screen" and "Login Screen (GDM2)". The first of these shows I'm configured for automatic login, as does the custom.conf file in /etc/gdm. However when I click its "unlock" button, it flashes orange momentarily but nothing else happens. The second manager doesn't seem to have any effect on the problem...
The other issue is that my networking fails to start during boot-up; I'm not using the network manager applet and am not starting it; instead I have the three NICs in the machine (which serves as the router and gateway for my LAN) configured in /etc/network/interfaces. Once I am logged in, I can run "sudo service networking start" from a Terminal window and everything works properly, but adding that same line to /etc/rc.local (minus the "sudo" of course) had no effect on the problem. Both issues happen only at boot time, and since this machine normally runs 24/7 except immediately after certain updates or when troubleshooting they're not show-stoppers, but I greatly prefer to have my systems working the way I've configured them rather than going off in other directions!
I saw that Evolution 3.0 was available for 11.04 so I decided to give it a shot. I installed it via ppa following these directions:

There were a bunch of dependencies that installed and required a restart. Upon reboot, autologin doesn't work and graphically the desktop is uglier with a different theme. Unity is not working properly, the wallpaper does not exist and many, many artefacts are present.

Based on my description and the posted instructions, is there a way to undo what I did short of a format and re-install?
