Re: Debian-how to login without keyboard?
http://rabenfrost.net/debian/debian-armel-xfce.tar.bz2; file and that should be rather unnecessary -- everything is inthe debian repositories. There is any rootfs in tar.gz or tar.bz2 in that repos? I think is quicker(not mean better or easier, only quicker) to untar a file in a mounted partition in neo or even quicker in a usb2.0 card reader, than oh, i thought you were following those old installation instructions. go trough all the cdbootstrap proccess (I have done booth and I will be very happy if you tell me where to find other tar file with a working debian rootfs) i was about to prepare one, but got no answer where to unset my root password (in which file on that little sd card i don't sue anymore). thus, i postponed the task. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Debian-how to login without keyboard?
I don't like this solution, cause I want a keyboard in gdm. I want to log in normally and things like PIN are read from other config files. michele renda, i think, described how to get xvkbd together with gdm, search for -xdm (that's an xvkbd argument). I also want a screen saver to as soon as possible turn off the screen when the device boots. This is because it might take a while before a gdm or something else appears, so if you boot the device and put it in your pocket, you don't touch something like gdm. The screen would then have to be turned on with the POWER button and then hit AUX to pop up a keyboard to actually log in with something like gdm. shouldn't be too hard technically. I also miss the POWER button menu in 2007.2, so I need something like that;). It's not always that I want to lock the device with a password either, just turn on something like that ball lock in 2007.2. doesn't xscreensaver have that kind somewhere? The GTK applications from 2007.2, like the dialer, are being ported to FSO on debian, so that's just excellent, as well;). links? ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Debian-how to login without keyboard?
Hi, I don't use gdm nor any display manager, I directly load xfce from the /etc/init.d/zhone-session script, setting PROG_FSO=/usr/bin/xfce4-session and then autoloading zhone at startup. I know it's not a very clean way but works well. best regards.

Hi there I have just installed debian in the sd card doing the partitions and copying a kernel and the http://rabenfrost.net/debian/debian-armel-xfce.tar.bz2; file and that should be rather unnecessary -- everything is inthe debian repositories. everything is running smooth until the gdm login prompt arise. if you need gdm only for login, you should reconsider that choice -- it is fat and has lot of dependencies using space and cpu. as for your problem at hand: search the archives, i think sparky mat wrote two or three weeks ago, how he configured gdm to do autologin by manipulating a config file. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Sorry me I don't need gdm that's one of the problems of a packed rootfs, you don't know what did you find until it boots :) and seems that this root fs comes with gdm, but the previous Juan Cañete comment is straight enough to fit my needs boot as son as posible with the phone stack on, thank you both as for your problem at hand: search the archives, i think sparky mat wrote two or three weeks ago, how he configured gdm to do autologin by manipulating a config file. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
