Hi Moe Long time since Apataki  Thank you so much for Navigatrix, but each time I install it on a computer , I'm unable to set a password to boot. If i ask a password to start Navigatrix, everyhting ok untill the forth letter or number or sign,so eachtime I've installed it without password to start. Any suggestion? |

Merci, beaucoup de gens font Navigatrix possible. Je espère que tout va bien avec vous et Gerard. Aussi étrange que cela puisse sembler, je voudrais revenir à Apataki Carenage passer plus de temps. (For those who don't know,Apitaki Carenage is the best DIY boatyard in the South Pacific) I am having a little trouble understanding what you want to do. First off, on the LiveCD version of Navigatrix, the user is nx. This user (nx) does not require a password. This requirement has been circumvented by /etc/sudoers.d/00navigatrix which instructs the system in specific instances to grant access without a password. By default, as a security measure, the root password is not set (I'm told, technically it is set, but it is unknown to anyone/thing, alive or not alive.) ...but that doesn't really apply to you. Setting passwords with sudo passwd is a straight forward process, if you have sudo access. It is always the command followed by the user for whom you wish to change/set the password. If no user is stated it will change the password of the current user logged in. Quote: moe@io:~$ sudo passwd root <---to change/set the 'user' root's password Ok, that is how you set/change the password for anyone on a system you have sudo privileges .[sudo] password for moe: <-- for the 'sudo' command in the line above Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully moe@io:~$ sudo passwd Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully moe@io:~$ To log on to the system, either automagically, or with a password, is controlled by the Light Desktop Manager configuration file found at /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf . For auto-login, it looks like this Quote: [SeatDefaults] If I would want the system to ask for a password when it boots, you place a #, like thisautologin-guest=false autologin-user=moe autologin-user-timeout=0 autologin-session=lightdm-autologin greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on user-session=Navigatrix Code: # autologin-session=lightdm-autologin Although not necessary, I place a space after the # for readability.Adding a # to the beginning of any line and it become a "comment" and not something the system will use. Essentially it is a comment to a human that could be used to improve, fix, or revert the code. This file can be modified via Code: sudo medit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf Save, and exit.Was this close to what you wanted to know? |

Hi "If I would want the system to ask for a password when it boots" That's what I was looking for, but I'm so beginner with Linux Gnu , I have to learn somewhere the basis to use your information, thank you, I'll find how to !! |

That is what you do. open a terminal Code: sudo medit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf Then you go down 5 lines and place a # at the beginning, so it looks likeCode: # autologin-session=lightdm-autologin Save, and exit. You will be asked for a password on the next boot. |

Yes, I know the terminal shows errors, but the text editor appears in another window that pops up. To not see the errors you would use Code: gksudo medit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf look for the pop up window.

I've done it, it appears like that when I open it now but still no passwd asked on start, I don't know what I 'm doing wrong, thanks for your patience [SeatDefaults] autologin-guest=false autologin-user=zelda autologin-user-timeout=0 # autologin-session=lightdm-autologin greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on user-session=Navigatrix |

Let me look into the problem, because it works when I add/remove the # on the line autologin-session=lightdm-autologin....it's a mystery. |

I'm sorry, Zelda. I can't replicate the problem. It's like Adrian's trouble with wvdial.conf, no matter what I do, it works every time. It's hard to fix if I can't break it. Sorry. |
