On Xfce openRC, how to have Artix automatically log into Desktop without prompting password ?
I guess that depeds on your session manager (sddm, lightDm,...). Which one do you use?
How do we determine such on non systemd ?
Assuming you run the default XFCE/OpenRC install, add your user to autologin group and change autologin-user=artix to yours in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.
No autologin-user=artix
it's already
autologin-user=<user name>
% sudo usermod -a -G autologin manoca
How about your group membership? People, this isn't windows or ubuntu.
The questionmark was not to symbolize, that I don't know how to add a user to a group. It was to remind the OP(original Poster :D) of this necessity as he just stated, that he had his user in the lightdm.conf, but nothing about adding himself to the autologin group.
and before anyone asks: check your group memberships with the
groups
command ;)
May also need new group nopasswdlogin and add,
auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin
in /etc/pam.d/lightdm
admit that I'm noob in Linux security stuff, just found
$ groups
log network scanner power users video storage optical lp audio wheel budi
$ sudo usermod -a -G autologin budi
usermod: group 'autologin' does not exist
What'd directory pam stand for
# groupadd -r autologin
MfG
duplication
This should be fixed in the next weekly ISOs.
Works like a charm !
Thanks a Billion !
more importantly must God reward you and bless you ...and me too
