I am in the process of installing LTSP4.2 on Mandriva 2009. There has been
problem because i has not found specific instructions for Mandriva 2009 but
Instructions for Mandriva 2006 and 2007 work 95% of the time.
What i have to solve now is autologin on some terminals.
I have tried instructions for KDM and GDM and none works.
I has gone back to GDM and use this instructions:
#####################################################################
Create a user ID for each client machine that will autologin. This how-to
assumes the IDs are auto1, auto2, auto3, etc.
Create the /usr/bin/autologin script. This script figures out which client it's
running on and then passes a correpsonding login ID to GDM for the autologin.
Here's a sample script, which you can modify to suit your needs:
--------autologin script--------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
CLIENT=$(echo $DISPLAY || cut -d. -f1)
case "$CLIENT" in
"ws001") disp=auto1;;
"ws002") disp=auto2;;
"ws003") disp=auto3;;
esac
echo $disp
----------------------------------------------------
Be sure the $disp variable is being set to valid user IDs you created in the
previous step. Remember to make the autologin script executable ('chmod +x
/usr/bin/autologin').
Modify /etc/gdm/custom.conf and add the following settings under the daemon and
security sections. Be sure to include the pipe character at the end of the
TimedLogin line.*
-------------------custom.conf--------------------------------
daemon
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=/usr/bin/autologin|
TimedLoginDelay=30
security
AllowRemoteAutoLogin=true
----------------------------------------------------------------
Restart GDM. This will kick all users, including you at the console, off the
system and send them back to the login screen. As such, it's best if you switch
to a command prompt console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, and login in as root, if
you aren't already. Then, restart gdm:
gdm-restart
###################################################################
There are other similar procedures that i has tried too without luck.
The problem is that i can see the login screen on the terminal and a message
that say somthiong like
"root wil login in 30,29,.... seconds" but root never login and th message
start again "root wil login in 30,29,.... seconds" and so on. I DO NOT WANT TO
LOGIN AS ROOT BUT AS A REGULAR USER. auto1 in this case.
What i thing is that something is missing because i do not see how the value
"auto1" stores in $disp on the screen, is passed to GDM as the name of the user
i want lo login as.
Any help?
