Hmmm.... I've never seen that thingy
Sounds like you have somehow changed the login preferences and it is preserved over upgrades.
You might try this:

| Post subject: | How to disable the graphical login manager |
Hi folks: Ever since R5A22, I've had the graphical login manager thingy running. I would like to disable that. I did a search using "login manager" and "graphical login", but couldn't find anything relevant. Can anyone tell me how to disable that thing? It's seriously annoying. thanks shplad |

The only login that I know of that was added in R5A22 was the mythweb login. There are some posts about disabling the mythweb security if that is what you are talking about. |

Maybe gdm? But that's been there forever... |

I think it's the GDM graphical login screen. It has a flower in the bottom right hand corner, and "Username" and "Password" fields. It also has options you can click on to Shutdown, restart, suspend etc. If you don't type a user and pwd. within 20 seconds, it automagically logs you in as user: mythtv. I'd really like to get rid of that darned thing. It annoys me because if I'm in X, and I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, or similar, it takes me to that screen, instead of a command prompt. shplad |

If Ctrl-Alt-F1 takes you to that screen you must be running X on virtual console 1. On my machine X is only running on virtual console 7 (Ctrl-Alt-F7) if I recall correct. Check your Xservers file (on my machine running plain xdm it is /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers). |

No, it's present in normal install, but you normally don't see it since during first startup the auto login is instant. But if you quit mythfrontend and then choose to exit the window manager (or maybe you need to kill it) you end up in the gdm login screen. |

Alien: Thanks for your suggestion, but AFAICT, the text in that link only describes how to set automatic login or similar. I'm looking to disable the login manager screen completely. Nobody knows how to do this? shplad |

Code: update-rc.d -f gdm remove But you DON'T want to do this... GDM is responsible for automatically logging 'mythtv' when X starts. Something is amiss on your system if you get GDM when you press <CRTL><ALT><F1>.

Well, if something is amiss, then it came that way "out of the box". Because I didn't change any GUI or logon settings. I wouldn't know how if I tried. I was suprised to get that screen the first time I tried to go to a console from within X. What can I do? shplad cesman wrote: Code: update-rc.d -f gdm remove But you DON'T want to do this...

Hi shplad, I've searched all of your posts. This one I found interesting: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=38907&highlight=#38907 Do you really use twinview? Maybe you can try the KnoppMythWiki: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=MonitorToTVTransition meaning: backup the current X86conifg file and re-setup according to the wiki (without twinview). Just a guess. Maybe you want to use the example of the X86config.nvidia (won't know if it is still there in R5A22) and tweak it. Fiete |
