How to auto-login sparky linux?
I followed this webpage but it didn't work...

This guide will show you how to login to a Debian image and start LXDE by simply powering the Pi on.
Auto Login:
In Terminal:
Quote
sudo nano /etc/inittab
Scroll down to:
Quote1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty1
and change to
Quote#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty1
Under that line add:
Quote1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f pi tty1 </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1
Ctrl+X to exit, Y to save followed by enter twice
Auto StartX (Run LXDE)
In Terminal:
Quotesudo nano /etc/rc.local
Scroll to the bottom and add the following above exit 0:
Quotesu -l pi -c startx
(where Quotepi is the username
you want to run X as). Press Ctrl+X to exit, Y to save followed by Enter twice.
(Note: The previous method indicated that you should add startx to /etc/profile. The updated method is better, since it will cause startx to run only when necessary, and it will not launch the X server as root.)
It was solved before already.
Type 'auto login' in the forum search box.
What I did is
Quote
Step 1:
Quotesudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Quoteedit the file manually, you should change the lines from:
Code:
#autologin-user=
#autologin-user-timeout=0
to:
Code:
autologin-user=your-nickname
autologin-user-timeout=0
Auto login didn't work.
QuoteI changed the above lines or uncommented twice.
First two lines give a descrition like
#autologin-user= use your user name.... etc
Second two lines are
#autologin-user=
etc;
Quoteand then rebooted but it didn't work.
So I uninstalled "slim" login manager
and rebooted and it works.
Now I don't need password-login anymore.
I heard that it doesn't work well in some cases.
But if slim works that's fine.
