[opensuse] automatic logon
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/ee33f238289b12d61dc71dc21a520124.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I set up a 10.2 system for a friend, such that when the system is booted the GUI session for his id comes up automatically (no manual logon needed). That part works well. But once in a while I would like to log my friend's session off -- and manually log in another id in its place. However, if I log out of his session, that session is __automatically__ started right up again. What I've been reduced to is to use "New Logon", and have the other GUI session be in *addition* to the original session. Is there a simple way (e.g., without going into maintenance mode) how I can close the automatic session, and __not__ have it restart ? mikus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've never had that happen on me even with automatic logon. Do you happen to have passwordless logins set as well? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

KDE or Gnome? If KDE Just Click the Big K, select start a new session, and then if needed, you can switch back to his session and shut it down. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
