Search results for query: login manager setting

Hum, the situation is vague. After a couple of tries and vm restarts, and changing the windows size in the windows rdp gui to 1920x1080, I can login via xrdp on windows as root. Not as normal user :eek: After some time the root session is locked and I can not login to the gnome window If I try...

Figuring out how each different shell processes "dotfiles" is arcane, at best. And bash is definitely the most arcane of all. For Bourne-like shells, setting ENV in your .profile and making sure that your window manager fires up a login shell every time you open a "terminal" will go a long way...

freezr syscons(4), often referred to as sc, is the legacy console driver. The type of console that someone (not you) might see after boot, before appearance of a login manager or a desktop environment. Its manual page...

I also had issue installing X and running GUI Every time I start a new machine or do a reinstall or setup a new laptop I use modesetting for my config and X always works 1. Remove anything in /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d that deals with X 2. sudo ee...

i did end up being able to solve this, by setting REQUIRE: login in the geli script (just to make sure it gets run as late as possible). that way it at least asks me for the password automatically. somehow, doing this resulted in my login manager no longer autostarting, so i had to fix that...

Hello, I seem to be having problems setting up Slim with a default shell of ‘tcsh ‘. In the Slim /usr/local/etc/slim.conf file there is a line that sets the ‘login_cmd’ to pass the chosen Slim window manager ( %session ) through to the login script, i.e., exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session ...

I do suppose , only I am running this script on many different Linux distros and freeBSD and it is moving the images to a different location each time to insure i use them all then when source is empty it moves everything back from the different location. so I need a fresh "copy" of current...

I have a script written by someone else to change backgrounds in a multitude of desktops and window managers that I've modified and now I am modding it again to , when an image is used move it to a different directory to insure all images get to be displayed, then when that source dir is empty...

No, I didn't change anything yet, I was not aware that changing the shell was so complex, so it's this that break everything and changed the setting tty in loader.conf for sc that I swear I did not touch it once? Or may be have been hacked? Now I wonder since I'm in the live CD all mounted is...

Thanks for your help. I removed the original user & home group, & added an new user/group & executed mount -uw / so I am a little further on but my Mate desktop advises that it fails to execute the new group & password. Is this a Mate rather than a BSD misconfiguration. How could I rectify this?

Have you mounted the file system read-write in single-user mode before executing passwd? When the system is booted into single-user mode the file system is mounted read-only (this can be verifyed by executing mount without options). If the file system wasn't mounted read-write, then the error...

Have you tried sysutils/desktop-installer? There's actually a lot involved in setting up a desktop system well and desktop-installer handles most of it for you. https://acadix.biz/desktop-installer.php

Thanks! I will type up Rough Draft #4 below, which I take it will be the final draft. See these two messages by mer (post #90) and Vull (post #93) that say they got /dev/fd in package messages, namely in LibreOffice. If that's what they're saying--and I am planning on using LibreOffice--it...

After a short break, I've reread the first three chapters of Absolute FreeBSD and the first two chapters of the Handbook. Now, I'll just dive right into some questions I have before I attempt to install KDE. After looking at my questions, please look at my instructions that follow, looking for...

Hi folks, I'm in the process of slowly configuring my system, and right this minute I'm trying to get a display manager working. I installed slim about a week ago via packages but I haven't been able to get it working properly. When I start my system it opens a login screen, but after logging...

This. When you have a system with uptimes of at least 24 hours, whats a few extra secs waiting? Heck I even go and bump the timeout in the bootloader back to 10 secs so I have enough time to get my old brain and fingers into action. Yes, I still use a desktop not a laptop. Laptops: reliable...

Installing and setting up X and a DE is done in a few minutes - the times where you have to hack together the whole xorg.conf by hand are long gone and usually you don't need any xorg.conf at all. Just install xorg, your DE of choice (I'm using XFCE4) and a login manager (e.g. slim), load that...

Dear joplass, in case you use startx: You could also create a variable as WM at login in your .profile or what applies for your shell. In your .xinit the variable can be used to start the window manager by exec $WM. To change the WM setting one could use a menu by dialog or just two scripts...

Option I: Common Sense #! By now, I think it's obvious we shouldn't hand over our life to BigTech -- at least it's obvious for some of us, and that's a lot, and enough. 0. Dump the Googly eyes, as I did. 1. GOTO 0 Option II: Go Full Bunker * Disable browser password managers. * Wipe out all...
