epretorious Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) When I select Boot -> Enable Autologin from Mandriva Control Center (drakconf-10.4.13-1mdv2007.0), MCC complains: No bootloader found. Creating a new configuration. ...and then select "Launch the graphical environment when your system starts" and"Yes, I want autologin with this (user,desktop)" (and I select a user and the Gnome desktop) the system doesn't automatically log the user in when I restart the system. Why? :huh: FWIW: Using grub (grub-0.97-19mdv2007.0) Edited December 30, 2006 by epretorious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epretorious Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 FWIW: Security level is set to 'High' (MCC -> Security (Advanced) -> Set the System Security Level -> Basic Options -> Security Level = High) but I've allowed autologin (MCC -> Security (Advanced) -> Set the System Security Level -> System Options -> Autologins = Yes). :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epretorious Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 FWIW: All of this has disabled Mandriva 2007's pretty splash screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I have Mandriva 2007, and just a couple of hours ago I was able to get the auto login to work. At the login screen/page, choose 'configure login manager', then give your password, then choose 'security', then 'enable automatic login'. I also tried to get the automatic login to work from within Gnome, but, like you, it wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
