Re: [mythtv-users] Auto login as user and start Myth.

[Brad DerManouelian]

In KDE Control Center -> Login Manager -> Convenience Click the auto-login box. The other settings you need are obvious there. Then, make sure you have it set to start your session from saved session, launch Myth (back end if needed and front end definitely). Then save your session. Now when you boot, it will auto login and restore to your saved session (which means launching Myth). I play it safe and set my auto-login to happen after 20 seconds so if I need to over-ride and log in as another user or root or something, I can catch it in time.

The overall idea is to have the system get to the point that you can use the  remote automatically after you turn it on.  I'm using Gentoo Linux.  This  shouldn't be that hard, but I just don't see an obvious starting point other  than maybe figuring out the init process from inittab or maybe something like  xdm that does autologins. -Robert Denier _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
