The AutoLogin setting in gdm.conf seems to only work on the local machine - the ltsp server console itself. If I enable it, I can expect to never see the gdm greeter and I just blast right through to the desktop of the user I put on the AutomaticLogin= line. Good, I understand how that works.
But I cannot get this behaviour on the remote, ltsp thin clients. The TimedAutoLogin setting effects the remote clients, though, but has a DELAY setting of 5 seconds minimum, leaving the greeter available for an attempted login by someone else. To avoid confusion, I wanted the AutoLogin behaviour to work on the clients to completely bypass the gdm greeter,. For the life of me I cannot get this to work, and am thinking it's maybe just not supposed to...? Any aditional suggestions appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Johnston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Erik Myllymaki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "LTSP Discussion list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 28, 2003 10:11 AM Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] xsetup_workstations with GDM > On Sat, 2003-11-22 at 16:14, Erik Myllymaki wrote: > > continueing on the road to the *perfect web kiosk setup*, I find that GDM > > can run a program prior to getting to the greeter. > > > > by putting something like /usr/bin/opera7 in the Xsetup-workstations file > > and commenting out the rest, I can invoke this program without needing to > > login. trouble is, it is run as root(well, the opera7 process is running as > > root, but it is NOT using the .opera directory and root's opera config > > files, it creates on in the root directory(/) not the /root directory ...?). > > It's generally considered bad to run anything that responds to the > user's clicks prior to login.
