Ubuntu :: Automatic Login Fails Due To Missing Information?
Jun 16, 2011
After changing my user's UID number with the "usermod -u" command or otherwise changing the login settings my computer no longer logs in automatically. I can login manually by selecting the "Other" option and manually typing in my user-name and password. However my user-name is gone from the list of users at the login screen or in the Login Screen Settings program.
Other than that my computer seems to function fine. My users details are still listed in "User settings".

The Update Manager has tried to upgrade me to version 11 three times now, and fails each time.
First I get a warning, that probably isn't important: "Third party sources disabled
Some third party entries in your sources.list were disabled. You can re-enable them after the upgrade with the 'software-properties' tool or your package manager."
After the upgrade I get this:
"Could not install the upgrades The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).
Upgrade complete The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade process."
The console has about six messages similar to this, all complaining about the vnc-e package:
"warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 10992 package 'vnc-e': error in Version string '4.4.3_r16583': invalid character in version number"

Ubuntu has got this build-in check for errors which starts every 30 startups (if I remember well ) but my one gone missing... Strange. How can I turn it back on ?ound in the forum some information about Bonager, but is this original automatic disk check software shipped with Ubuntu or another piece of software ?

Since the upgrade to Unity I cannot find the really nice weather/temperature information that used to be by the clock.

I'm already aware that you can set automatic login for gdm, which is what i currently have now.
Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason, it doesn't work 100% of the time. I'd say for about every 10 successful auto-logins, I get a case where it just sits at the log-in screen. This is a problem for me because i use it for a specific purpose, and i need Ubuntu to come up as fast as possible, without any user interaction.
So far my only workaround has been to reboot it whenever it does a bad start (where it asks me to log-in) and usually when the PC reboots, it will auto login fine.
I've given up trying to find out why it does that, so i just want the log-in screen gone entirely. I've searched on google and on this site directly, but no one else seems to have this issue.

I have been running into network issues lately with my CentOS 5 (installed on AMD Athlon X2 - 64 bit machine about 2 years ago). It was able to connect to the network fine until yesterday when I installed more memory into the machine restarted it.
Upon restart, the boot up was paused at 'Determining IP information for eth0' step for a while and booted with out connecting to the network. I tried restarting the network (/sbin/service network restart), but this is the error message I continuously get: Determining IP information for eth0...PING xxx.1.226.1 (xxx.1.226.1) from xxx.1.226.83 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data
[Code]...

I am running Lucid 64bit on my laptop and been trying to install a canon printer driver LBP3200 on it. There are some comprehensive tutorials that I have been following and they worked on my desktop. However the last thing I have to do is
Code:
sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults 50
which gives me the error
Code:
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/ccpd missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see [URL]
System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/ccpd already exist.
I checked in /etc and I do not have the rc.d dir! I have rc0.d through to rc6.d and rcS.d dir, but no rc.d one. Is this normal? and if so how can I get the correct file to start/stop the ccpd daemon for the printer? At the moment the print command brings up the printer icon for about ten seconds and then it disappears and nothing happens.

My laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 insists on automatically logging me in without asking for my password. The only thing is, I've disabled auto login and it shouldn't be doing that.
When I first boot up Ubuntu all I have to do is select my username, no password required to log in. I want the login screen to prompt me for my password for better security.
Here are the settings I already have:
System - Administration - Login screenSet to "show the screen for choosing who will log in"
System - Administration - Users and GroupsI am the only user I have an Administrator level account "Don't ask for password on login" is unchecked, i.e. it should ask for my password on login. If I create a new user with the same settings, that user gets asked for its password. But I don't.
Surely this should be enough to disable automatic login.

I have enabled automatic login in Lubuntu, and have now added a second user, I want to DISABLE the automatic login, or perhaps change the default login. The usual Ubuntu admin window for this does not appear to be available. Where in the conf files this setting is, and or whether there is a GUI that controls this.

recently installed Ubuntu Server 10 everything has set up just fine but the only problem i have is to get ubuntu to login automatically. The main reason for this is because i havent got a monitor connected if for whatever reason the server restarts its hanging at the login screen and i cant login via vnc to the desktop. The furthest ive got is for it to say at the login screen next to the name (user logged in). Any Ideas on how to resolve this? or if it is possible?

I like the server login information that gets displayed when you login to a 10.04 server. It lists disk usage, CPU usage, Temperature etc...
Unfortunately I had problems installing 10.04 from a USB. At the end of the process the master boot record was stored on the USB and not the hard disk.
But now when I login to my server I don't get the server information.

I installed 10.04 on my pc. I also have 9.08 and XP installed. Both work. The 10.04 gui login screen displays and asks for the password. I enter the password. The screen goes blank but after a few seconds the gui login box re appears and again asks for a login. I rebooted into the TTY, created a new user, checked the new user was in in /etc/passwd and that I could get into the new user's account. When I rebooted into the gui the new user was there and I entered the password but again I just got back to the gui login window. The pc I am using is at least 5 years old. I have tried startx and I do get the gui background but no controls are displayed. I am using 32 bit 10.04. Using the TTY I have uploaded all the current fixes.

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 desktop. I've created two user accounts, one for admin purposes and the other for standard users. At boot up, I have the option to pick one of the created accounts or select "automatic login." When I select automatic login, it logs me into the admin account. I've double checked that the "don't ask for password" option is not selected on either account.
The only thing unusual that I did was select the "don't ask for password" option during the install, and then later (after the install was complete) decided that's not what I wanted and unchecked it.
I need to accomplish one of two things. Either change it so the auto login applies to the standard user account, or remove the auto login option from the login screen altogether.

To enable automatic login, I edited the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file and entereted the following lines:
Code:
The automatic login is working but I still see the login box with options to select language. After a delay of few seconds, the system will automatically log me in. I don't know why I see the login window. Is there any way to bypass this window?

I have installed CentOS 5.5 successfully and I have VNC working. This server will be a headless box that will reside in a server rack. I intend to perform any necessary maintenance on the machine remotely though my desktop computer. My problem is that when CentOS is on the login screen, I cannot connect with VNC. Once I have logged into a user account, then I can connect.
I would like the server to automatically login to one of my users each time it boots so that the VNC connection will be opened. Currently I have two users, root and Zachary. I would like the server to automatically login to the user Zachary.
In the CentOS Gnome GUI, when I go into System > Administration > Login Screen, and then click on the Security tab there is an option to "Enable Automatic Login." If you check this box a select form field becomes active; however, there are no user accounts showing in that select field. I tried typing in the user name that I wanted to automatically login, but after closing the screen it clears that username. What am I missing?

I'm setting up a mythTV frontend, so have set up automatic login in GDM, which works perfectly. I've also re-enabled the "kill X server" key combo (ctrl-alt-backspace), as other people here are used to that to restart it if everything goes pear-shaped.
However, the autologin isn't working properly after I kill the X server -- just sits at the login screen, and I have to manually log in.
how to fix that? Essentially, I never want to see the log in screen -- I want it to always log in as my generic MythTV user.
Not sure if it's any help, but here's my /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
Code:
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=generic
TimedLoginEnable=false
TimedLogin=generic
TimedLoginDelay=1
DefaultSession=gnome
(I've also tried enabling the "TimedLoginEnable", and have tried delays of 0, 1, and 10 seconds. They don't seem to work, either.)

Is there a way to set Linux to automatically log in to a specific user account and at the same time lock the screen? I want to save time and trigger various software that always should start up on boot, while leaving the computer unattended during startup (extra important and practical for remote control boots), by enforcing a 'screen lock' so that no-one can see what happens behind the login screen without entering the login credentials.

I made my Fedora 13 box boot up automatically by adding the following to /etc/gdm/custom.conf
Code:
However, when it boots up it prompts me for my password so it can connect to my wireless network (I think it said something about not getting my user password at login). Is there anyway I can get it to remember this?
I would like to make this automatic because this will be a remote box that I will use as a file server, but it wont be turned on all the time. So I'll turn it on when I need it, but I'll need to connect to it remotely, so obviously it needs to be on the network.

When I create a new user account and login the first time to Gnome a series of files and directories is created in the user's home directory. Those directories are for example:
.ICEauthority
.cache
.config
.dbus
.gnupg
Bilder
Desktop
Documents
Musik
Videos
Vorlagen
�ffentlich
How can I control what files and directories are created? I checked /etc/skel but none of those entries where there. In particular, I do not want to have the folders "Bilder", "Documents", "Musik", "Videos", "Vorlagen" and "�ffentlich" being created.

I want to connect to anothere server from my current server through SSH command.
when I am using the command in the terminal like-- ssh username@ip it is asking me to give password. This is working fine in the terminal. but I want to do it automatic through a shell script.
How can I be able to provide userid and password through shell script?
I was trying to achieve it by creating a public key and copy it to the destination .ssh file. but I dont have the permission to create any file in the destination server.

A few minutes ago I was using google chrome when suddenly the scroll-lock indicator on my keyboard turned on... I pressed the scroll-lock key, but nothing happened, the light remained. I opened a terminal and ran "top" to find what processes were running when I was automatically logged out. I logged back and checked the logs and found the following entries in my auth.log:
Code:
CRON[2971]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
CRON[2971]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
