Re: KDM auto-login user after x secs
http://alioth.debian.org/~modax-guest/kcontrol-autologin-x-secs.png This is exactly what I'm looking for... Of course, this feature is available this version of Debian, Sarge... only in the Gnome desktop manager and NOT the KDE desktop manager (KDE 3.3.2)... I don't understand what you mean by ...once you change Login Manager (kdm) settings, don't forget to restart kdm (killing X with ctrl+alt+backspace or loging off login on is not enough! I didn't have kdm loaded on this computer... I just went to a console and typed apt-get install kdm and when it loaded it asked me what manager I'd like as the default... I selected kdm and it's been working great ever since... so, what you said confuses me somewhat??? could you please explain that a little better so that I can be certain that I'm not missing something???

Yes, the feature is not available in sarge. But you can always upgrade to testing, which will become 'stable' very soon. Beware, that currently kde in etch has an annoying (kcontrol empty) bug which can be resolved by upgrading a few kde packages from unstable.

Re: KDM auto-login user after x secs
Thank you... yes... as I said in the first post... I've tried that... , it is a solution to logon a user by default... however it does not offer an option for timing... it is immediate... you select this and that person get logged on, and that's that... lol...

Re: KDM auto-login user after x secs
I've used kcontrol and went to the convience tab and there is no option to allow a user to be automatically logged on after x secs... this does not do what I need... as gdm did... What do you mean by 'automatically switches to root with kdesu (KDE Super User)??? I think that you mean after you click the the 'Administrator Mode' button??? Is that correct??? or where U referring to something else??? Most sincerely, PS May I ask you a question or 3??? My answers are letter a. 1. What newsreader do U use? a. I use KNode 2. What mail reader do U use? a. Evolution 3. What web browser do U use? a. Mozilla 4. Do U use GDM or KDE? a. KDE 5. RU running a server? a. No. It's running me. lol Hendrik Sattler wrote: Am Montag 27 November 2006 01:53 schrieb Daniel L.
