That is half the way to full automatic login! Every day for the last 10 years I've had to type in username and password. Can somebody tell me how to get some relief without having to switch display managers, for heavens sake. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If you are the only user and you want autologin... Why to use a DM? You can make a script with "su" and "startx" and use it like a system service. -- Saludos, Roberto De Oliveira -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

"Autologin" is a feature that is available in other DM (kdm/gdm) so people miss having that option on another display managers. BTW, I also use autologin in GNOME/gdm and still need a DM :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Trouble? Contact listmaster(a)lists.debian.org > Archive: http://lists.debian.org/87iq63fehz.fsf(a)jidanni.org > Hello: For automatic login as the same user every time try nodm. From the man page: "nodm is a minimal display manager that simply logs in as a given user and starts an X session, without asking for username or password." I use it on a mobile device with no problems. This package is not in Lenny but it is in backports. Of course, this violates your requirement of not changing DM, but xdm seems to have no such feature.
