[opensuse] Lost autologin
Hello, I'm using OpenSuSE 11.1 on my Thinkpad X200. I use KDE 3, although some patrs of KDE 4 are obviously installed too as I get both configuration utilities ("Personal Settings" and "Contol Centre" ) so I don't know who controls what. However, the system was set up to login automaticaly the default (and only) user. Recently, while trying to get the right image on the VGA out on a beamer, my user session crashed so badly that KDE would no more start. After trying many other things I ended archiving, deleting and recreating my user. So far so good. Now to the weird (at least to me): when I rebooted after having deleted the corrupted user (to make sure all files were destroyed), KDE sensibly told me I had an automatic login for a non-existent user, so do I want to remove it? I made the mistake to say yes. From there on, the system does no more aknowledge automatic login. I can set it up (I created a second user for testing) on any user, I always end up at the login screen. I tried to login with KDE 4 and KDE 3, set up automatic login in both (they _are_ set), but nothing works... Is not absolutely a big problem, but it puzzles me. Where the heck is that setting hidden? And which KDe version controls my login? There is a kdmrc file in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm - it says AutoLoginUser=<myuser>, but none in /etc/kde4/kdm, but the settings used seem to be kde4's.....

In YaST's user module you will find a button at the bottom-right, either expert or advanced it is labled if I remember correctly, there you can enable autologin. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, that was it. I suppose this is OpenSuse specific, as Yast is... Thierry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
