How can I get passwordless auto-login from GDM on SuSE?
I have set up Freevo on a SUSE box, but the idea is when the box boots up, it needs to boot directly into Freevo.
So far I have managed to get it to automatically log into user freevo, but it pops up a grey screen with a box that asks for the password. Once the password has been given, the login continue and Freevo is loaded without a window manager, is it should.
So, I just need to get rid of the box that asks for a password, as this is not very practical for a utility type setup like Freevo.
I know it must work, as friend is working on a kiosk system based on Ubuntu, also using GDM with auto-login, but on his system no password is asked.
I have compared my gdm config with his and did not not find any significant differences (background colours, themses, etc)
He also has a normal user account that he use, same as I do, so what can cause the password box to pop up?
Any ideas where I should look?
Thanks
I've tried to get that working too... without success. A couple years ago when I was trying out Mandrake 9.x, it was a simple matter of clicking a checkbox in a GUI. Doing that on Suse 9.3 Pro though does nothing. There's /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager and it has a couple variables which seem to pertain to this functionality. I've played around with those, but no joy yet. You might have better luck. -- "This world ain't big enough for the both of us," said the big noema to the little noema.
