Are you tired off typing logins? Don't want to load heavy/waste of time login managers?
This guide let's you have autologin and autostart for your XFCE:
Let's open a console and then create the file autologin.c
Code:
sudo nano autologin.c
and paste this code inside (middle mouse button will paste the text you underline):
Code:
int main() {
execlp( "login", "login", "-f", "your_user_here", 0);
}
replace the string: your_user_here with the user you want to autologin. (ctrl+X to save) btw, use your prefered editor.
Let's compile.. you will need to have gcc installed:
Code:
sudo gcc -o autologin autologin.c
copy the compiled autologin file into /usr/local/sbin
Code:
sudo cp autologin /usr/local/sbin
now we need to edit the file /etc/inittab
Code:
sudo nano /etc/inittab
search for this:
Code:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
put a # to comment this line and add this new line:
Code:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/local/sbin/autologin 38400 tty1
it will look like this:
Code:
#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/local/sbin/autologin 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
this will make the autologin stuff...
let's make the autostart:
put this code on the bottom and save it
Code:
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]; then
startxfce4
fi
then you just have to remove your login manager :
Code:
sudo apt-get remove gdm xdm kdm
reboot your machine
