[expert] Text + graphical "logins"
Hi all: I am running LM 7.2 with graphical logging enabled. Yet when booting, the login screen with the big (or semi-big) penguin comes up all the time. It goes away after a while anyway and the graphical login screen pops up, yet this intermediate stage is annoying and I would like to skip it altogether and go straight to the graphical login screen. What needs to be done? The following lines are in my inittab file (I am not listing all the lines) %% id:5:initdefault: # System initialization. si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit # Things to run in every runlevel. ud::once:/sbin/update # Run xdm in runlevel 5 # xdm is now a separate service x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon %% Thanks in advance, Serge Pineault Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I don't believe that there's anything you *can* do about it. It's a normal part of the bootup function. When the system hits the point where it's ready to accept logins, the regular text login screen appears. X takes a bit longer to load, and at that point, the system knows that you want it (and it's ready to give it to you for your login screen), and starts it up. Short of buying a faster machine to reduce the amount of time that the text login screen appears, there really isn't anything I can think of that you can do about it. :-) --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Look for file "linuxlogo",it's somewhere bin/sbin/usr/bin/usr/sbin.. Remove that,and you don't see it anymore... Jarmo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I it really bugs you, you could create your own custom /cat/issue. That file is what brings up the "oversized penguin". I kinda like the penguin though.

i mean /etc/issue (still early without enough caffiene) . Mandrake overwrites that file at every boot, but you can alter what gets written to it. take a look at rc.local around line 15.
