Single user set-up [solved]

[rogerh]

Hello,

 

Just set up 2010.2. I am using the system as a single user desktop at home. How do I set it up so that I don't have to boot every time, and that I go directly to my desktop??

 

Thanks -- Roger

Click on "Configure your Desktop". Select 'Advanced".

Select "Login Manager". Put a tick in "Enable Auto-login", then select "user", and perhaps put a tick in "Lock Session" (I don't know if the Session lock is necessary since i have not tried it to see what it does).

 

Hope this helps. Cheers. John.

I hope you are not in the moist region of Australia....

Thanks Roger, I'm glad it helped.

 

We are about 200km North of it but we are effected by it all because the Northern Highway is still cut off by road much further south.

 

So supply's by road is stopped. Rail, Sea and Air are unaffected so we are getting along OK. Cairns has about 160,000 people and is a tourism hub, being the next most visited tourist spot after Sydney.

 

Cheers. John.

Hello,

 

Glad to hear you are ok. Went to Cairns many year ago (prior to international airport) and found it lovely. With the airport it is probably a bit more developed....
