Author Topic: Change Doremi auto login user? Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 08-29-2014 02:33 AM                     Is there a way to change the default auto login account from 'doremi' to 'manager'? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 08-29-2014 03:12 AM                     I've never paid sufficient attention, but aren't they using a standard GDM login manager? If so, just edit: /etc/gdm/custom.conf look for a section called [daemon] and the following two lines: AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=<your auto login user>  |  IP: Logged Ioannis Syrogiannis Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: Reykjavík, Iceland Registered: Jun 2005 posted 08-29-2014 04:41 PM                     Well, I am not sure about that. First of all, I think it's a wdm display manager. While I am not certain, and I can not be for the time being, there isn't an /etc/wdm or a /doremi/etc/wdm folder. The password for the default user (doremi) to login is kept in the /doremi/X11R6/etc/login.conf file. (That's according to doremi.) So after changing the default user to auto login (if someone figure out the way), shouldn't one at least change that too, with the proper and well known "manager" password? In all other cases, I suspect that there will be a prompt for feeling in the credentials. I am curious about the outcome of such an attempt. Please, feel free to let the rest of us know.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 08-29-2014 07:26 PM                     Yeah, I stand corrected. The Windows Manager is WDM and they also use their Login Manager and not GDM. The WDM login manager is some bastardized version of XDM, which is a bitch to configure. Maybe they use it, because it's the only way to get the on-screen keyboard functioning at login? Look for the wdm-config file, usually in /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config, but now probably burried somewhere in /doremi/X11R6/. Those two lines should do the magic: DisplayManager*wdmDefaultUser: <user> DisplayManager*wdmDefaultPasswd: <password>  |  IP: Logged
