(Solved) Statler: Automatic Login missing

Tunafish · 2010-04-14 08:57:24

I can't find the Automatic Login feature in the Statler Openbox version. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

yes there is no link in the menu but you can run the command

gksu gdmsetup

(give your password) and then go to the tab "security" (mine is german and says "Sicherheit", its the second from the right) there are the checkboxes for autologin and timed login (you have to enter a username as well)
this is what i was told earlier in this forum (donno where) and it works.

Hello luc,

can you tell me if I can remove the language menue checkbox (de/us/gb). I only need the Geman language pack. How can I fix it? Do you have any Idea?

thx.

Best Regards

@luc: danke sehr, problem solved....

@sudo-1: did you try to add setxkbmap de to autostart.sh? and remove the old setxkbmap line as well?

sudo-1 · 2010-04-14 17:12:06

@Tunafish: No. My kbmap is running in german language. I`ve got the problem with the checkbox in the right corner. The standard language is always "gb" and I`m looking for a way to change it in "de" for standard. You know? After the login screen I`am wishing me "de" as standard language in this checkbox. Do you have any Idea to change it ?

Best Regards

Maybe i'm wrong, but in autostart.sh there is a line
setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll gb,us,de,fr &
i would try to put de in front of gb....
does that work_ smile smile haha i meant ? instead of _, put i changed my keyboard to german now....

fbxkb is the program that shows the indicator.

if you only use one keyboard (like i do), you can remove both lines and add the keyboard you use:

# setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll gb,us,de,fr &
#(sleep 1s && fbxkb) &
setxkbmap us -option compose:ralt&

@Tunafish

Sorry, I think you missunderstood me. I don`t have any problem with my keyboard language. I`m sending you tomorrow morning an PM with two screenshots from this checkbox. Now I must shutdown my system and I'm offline till tomorrow morning. Thank you. See you tomorrow.

Worked perfectly ,,Thanks for the tip.

And thanks to Tunafish for his too.

@ Tunafish and Charlie01: Thank you so much for your help. My problem is the checkbox at the right corner at the startside in crunchbang stadler. You can find it between network-symbol and date/time. The information about it ist fbxkb0.6 X11 keyboard switcher. At this one I wanna change the standard language from "gb" to "de". At every boot/reboot I must change it. Do you have any Idea. Thank you.

Best Regards

sorry but Tunafish was right here:

best,
Tonijn

the thing is this:

setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll gb,us,de,fr &

"setxkbmap" is setting your keyboard layout (so that "z" and "y" is in the right place for example)
the stuff after "-option" does something i don't understand but i think it is responsible for the possibility to switch the layout as easy as just clicking in the button you described.
"gb,us,de,fr" now these are the layout which will be loaded. and as "gb" is first it will be default.
now if you change it to have "de" at first german layout will be default.

You will still have the icon to switch the keyboard layout in the down right corner of your screen and you will still be able to change the kb-layout with it.
If you dont want to change it any more you just delete (better comment with "#" in the beginning) the lines

# setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll gb,us,de,fr &
#(sleep 1s && fbxkb) &

and put

setxkbmap de &

instead.
the second line (about "fbxkb") is responsible for your icon and it will vanish if the line is commented out. (at a new login of course)
by the way before i forget it we are talking about the file
~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
i have not tried this in xfce as i'm running OB.

I hope this was not to confusing...:-) and i hope it works for you.
If you have more questions about the keyboard layout it is maybe better to start a new threat in the forums, as this one has already been marked as "solved"

@sudo-1
The checkbox you're talking about is about the keyboard layout.
If you want to change your system language, you can read on this forum.
e.g.:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … ale-issue/
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … -language/
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … -settings/
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … alization/

Some of these threads are not about statler, but can help you as well.

sudo-1 · 2010-04-16 14:16:15

@Tunafish and Luc

Thank you so much. Thats right. I'm editing autostart.sh. Now it`s running.

Bye

Somehow Automatic Login doesn't work anymore...

Edit:
Just found out 'Preload' was messing around and slowed down my whole system....

sleep well,

I enabled auto-login successfully on my box with Statler a long time ago, but now that I try it on my laptop it acts as if I didn't do anything. Am I missing something obvious or is there something else afoot?

I've gone into gdmsetup as root and set the laptop up just as with my box, and then checking /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, which says the same thing my box does:

[daemon]

AutomaticLoginEnable=true

AutomaticLogin=username

I'm mystified why it doesn't work. Yes, I replaced "username" with my username. I tried changing the file at /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf that gets overridden by the above file, but still nothing.

I was going to do gdm-restart but it seems there is no command like this in sbin and the terminal doesn't recognize it though it's in the man pages.

Surely I'm overlooking something obvious...?

rabidfox · 2010-10-25 01:53:29

I have taken the gdm.conf from the computer whose GDM autologin works and used it to replace the gdm.conf on the laptop. And it still pretends there's nothing going on.

Thus, I don't think it's a problem with the config file. I think there's some problem with permissions or something...? In any case, I can't see how it can be user error.

For the record, this is an EEE 900 running the standard fresh install of Statler.

Do you think it's something I'm doing, or do you think it's a problem from upstream, or from Statler?

anonymous · 2010-10-25 02:07:55

Open gdmsetup, disable auto-login, save, then re-enable it. Also to restart GDM, I believe the command would be:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

rabidfox · 2010-10-26 04:02:13

I just tried this, and it doesn't change anything it seems. Have you another idea? smile

rabidfox · 2010-10-26 04:19:36

Interestingly, I notice this behaviour:

When I go into gdmsetup and disable autologin it replaces the appropriate section in gdm.conf with
AutomaticLogin=
AutomaticLoginEnable=false

And when I go to re-enable it now, it replaces the [daemon] section with empty lines.

Even if I go put the appropriate lines into that section by hand, it doesn't seem to recognize it.

Cheers.
