Ubuntu :: Auto-login For Hotspot Service?

May 1, 2011

My apartment management recently installed a new system so that I have to log-in every time I want to use the internet (wifi). It's kinda annoying because for some reason firefox doesn't offer to remember my username and password for this site. It's more annoying because when it opens a new window which has to be kept open while I use the internet, and after login redirects me to google.co.th, which I don't ever use.

Is there a script I could create which will login for me and handle this annoyance? It would make my daily life on computers just that little bit nicer.

Debian :: Can't Connect To WiFi Hotspot With Login Page

Aug 4, 2015

I am trying to connect to a paid for hotspot service. There is no encryption for the wifi.

In Windows you connect to the hotspot, and then any webpage that you attempt to connect to results in you being redirected to their login page.

Once you have put a username and password into their page, the internet works. I know the hostname and IP address of the login page so actually I can go straight there if necessary.

With Debian I have tried Network Manager, WICD and command line iwconfig and dhclient.

With Network Manager or WICD the connection just will not start. It seems to connect to the hotspot then immediately fall off before you can go to the login page.

With iwconfig and dhclient I get mode Managed not-associated. Sometime dhclient seems to return an IP address sometimes not. I'm not sure if it's because it already has an address in it's lease lifetime.

I think that dhclients sends a ping once the connection is up to verify the link? But this will not work until the page is logged into.

Windows "just works" even warning you that you need a login page and then loading it. How I can use this wifi service with Linux?

Ubuntu Security :: Ecryptfs Doesn't Auto-decrypt With Auto-login

Jan 6, 2011

I recently installed 32bit maverick and wanted to make it login automatically. I tried enabling auto login from Admin > Login but that didnt work and I was still prompted for my password. Then I went to Users & Groups and changed the password option to Do Not ask for password at login now after I reboot, the user list is shown (only 1 user) and it doesnt ask for password after I click on my username.

However, then it gives a few errors (as i vaguely recall):

1. cannot load .ICE directory in my home directory
2. some error 256 about a gconf-sanity-2 file
3. nautilus cannot load my home directory etc

and then it gets stuck without loading anything (blank wallpaper). i ve tried navigating to my home directory using Alt F2, gksudo nautilus and my home dir contents are encrypted by the ecryptfs (there is a readme.txt file and a shortcut). i have tried to decrypt but it doesnt work... i ve also tried to start/stop gdm, and startx but nothing works. if i stop gdm, then the prompt doesnt recognize my password and keeps on rejecting the commands i enter... I think this has something to do with the home dir not being decrypted due to the dont ask for paswd option... how can i disable the dont ask for pwd without the gui (i can access my / by booting through an external usb).

Debian Configuration :: Auto-login And Auto-connect To Networks

Jun 3, 2010

I press On-button, Debian boots, logs in and automatically connects to the Wireless network AND! to my local pc via LAN. It runs an ssh server, so I can ssh into debian over internet and communicate with the local pc (send a magic packet).Here are my problems:

1) I don't how to log in automatically. This and this doesn't work.
2) I need a network tool that can manage multiple connections and has a reconnect feature. With the default network manager I cannot even connect to more than one network simultaneously although I have two network devices of course.

And I guess I can run all that in console mode, right?

gdm-stop # first time I use /etc/init.d/gdm stop
DISPLAY=:1

Ubuntu :: Don't Use Auto Login Option

May 16, 2010

Ubuntu install offers the option of automatically logging one in at startup.If you choose this option, you are logged in automatically. However, you are still asked for your password, to unlock your keyring. So all you have done, is saved yourself one click (or one key press of the enter-key).The downside, is that there is no delay of your automatically started programs that maybe wait for you to log in. These can start using improperly initialized resources - like the keyring, I suppose.

In my case, this has resulted in the sound system failing. Restart then resulted in the sound being restored but the Trash folder going missing and so on. Finally, the Quit button on the task bar vanished forever. Perhaps I have identified the cause incorrectly, but that is my assessment and therefore I recommend not to use this login option.I am running 10.4 Gnome 64 bit. The program I started automatically, was Evolution.

Ubuntu :: Can't Stop The Auto-login

Aug 29, 2010

I was going through some settings and inadvertently changed the UID for my primary logon. I then realized what I did and changed it back and set the group back to my username.Since then, it only auto-logs in on startup. I cannot get it to prompt for a password again. I've tried normal things like changing "ask for password on login" and then changing it back, but that hasn't helped. I'm sure there's something else that I'm missing, but don't know what it is. Right now, it says "asked on login" but it doesn't.

Ubuntu :: SSH Auto-login Script Using RSA?

Sep 14, 2010

have a question about auto-login scripts for SSH where RSA keypair authentication is used.Basically, I have a server (say, server1) configured with RSA keypair authentication. This server is connected to another server (server2), that I connect to via server1 and for which I use the same passphrase and public key as I use for server1. I was wondering if it is possible without writing out the passphrase in a file to "forward" the phrase on from server1 to server2 in an auto-login script, saving me having to type it in twice

Ubuntu :: Enable Auto-login For Some Users And Not Others?

Jan 18, 2010

Meaning when I turn on the computer, it automatically logs into the family account; and they never need to enter any passwords.Second, under System -> Administration -> Users and Groups (users-admin from terminal) there is a "Don't ask for password on login" option (toggle) which is desirable for this family account. However, I have never seen this option enabled, but always grayed out. Is there any way to enable this option?In short, I want:1) For the family account never to require a password on login.2) Automatically log into the family account on boot.

Ubuntu :: Disabling Auto-login From The Terminal?

Mar 4, 2010

I enabled auto-login on my netbook without considering that my /home partition is encrypted, so now I can't log in. Is there any way I can disable auto-login without using the GUI?EDIT:I was able to get around this by going to a TTY, logging in, then killing X and starting GDM again. Still, this is not acceptable. Subscribe to the bug here, if you agree with me.

Ubuntu :: Auto Login As A Specific User?

Jun 17, 2010

I'm working on a kiosk-type system. What it needs to do is boot, auto login as a specific user, display only the Gnome desktop (no icons, etc), and auto start an application.

Is this possible (I'm sure it is)? If so, can this be scripted, i.e. without having to use graphical tools like Sabayon.

Ubuntu Security :: Cannot Disable Auto Login?

Jan 22, 2011

I have tried everything to disable automatic login from the login screen (gdm). I've changed my password, I've changed the settings in System -> Admin ->Login Screen, and I've edited /etc/gdm/custom.conf (gdm.conf doesn't exist, but I created it just in case!).No auto login is set up, but I can't get it to ask for my password. This is affecting my ability to switch sessions, as I can't switch sessions without clicking on my name in gdm, and because it's set to auto login,

Ubuntu :: Auto-login Doesnt Work ?

Apr 28, 2011

I am running xubuntu 11.04 (ISO from early this week). During install, I selected to NOT auto login but to present this gdm panel where I have to enter the password (or other users could log in).

Now I decided to enable auto-login (and to start the screensaver right afterwards) ... so I opened up the "login screen settings" (systems menu), unlocked that window and changed it to "login as xxx".

Then i rebooted and would have expected to be greeted with my screen saver on a logged-in session afterwards. But what happens is that there is a gdm panel sitting ... showing me

AUTOMATED login
Other

Where the first item wont do anything.

So I have to select other and enter user name + password ?

Is that how it is supposed to work?

Ubuntu :: GDM Auto Login Doesn't Work After Logging Out?

Mar 4, 2010

I'm trying to configure an autologin account for a kiosk. I can create the user, no problem. I can set the user to automatically log in, no problem. I can set a delay in the automatic login so that someone is given a chance to log in using their own account, no problem. But if the autologin user logs out, then gdm does not automatically log it back in. This is where I'm stumbling. It seems that for such kiosk uses like this such behaviour would be a bug and not a feature.

Ubuntu :: Multiple X Sessions - Auto Login 2 Different Users

Oct 11, 2010

I have a small problem regarding multiple X sessions. I want 2 X sessions started automatically on boot with 2 different users auto logged in and 2 different sessions running.

On first X session I would like to have gnome running with user1
On second X session I would like to have xbmc running with user2
So far my computer logs user1 in to a gnome session via gdm on boot. But then I have to launch a tty, log in as user2 and then start xbmc in a new X session.

How to make it work? I would also love to have the second X session active after boot. I am running Ubuntu 10.04.

Ubuntu :: Workaround For Keyring When Auto-Login Is Enabled?

Apr 8, 2011

I'm trying to find a workaround for the keyring requirement when auto-login is enabled.Here's my setup:I'm primarily using my Linux computer as a server, for Git, FUPPES, OpenVPN, etc. Because of this, I do everything remotely from another computer (Windows 7). Most tasks I need to do I perform through SSH, but sometimes I use VNC to see the desktop, since some things are just easier with a GUI.My problem is this: I have auto-login enabled, because of how I use the device. However, when it first boots up, I'm unable to connect with VNC unless I physically go to the computer and type my password into the keyring pop-upDoes anyone know of a way around this? Is there a way for me to input my password into the keyring through SSH, by invoking libpam-gnome-keyring somehow? I've tried to locate this application
