Password Require
When Linux boot up,it goes straight to desktop. Only time ask for password is if you logoff. How do i set it to ask for password when boot up?

What display/login manager are you using (GDM, KDM, XDM)? Usually there is some display manager configuration option that controls this. A bit more information would help us help you...

FYI, Linux XP uses Gnome/GDM. According to their website, KDE is for hackers and sucks. :rolleyes:

root auto-login
Much of the time, the GUI you are using can log you in automatically, even if you do have a password assigned.
Look through your GUI's options and see what you can find :) Cheers Luke |
Linux to Ubuntu
Thanks for the advice. Yes, I'm switching from Linux XP to Ubuntu, because Linux XP wants me to activate(register $20 for key).
Anyone available via Messenger that can guide me with installation? I need tutor any time from 8am-3pm central time and 12:30am-2am central time. I'd reformat my pc 3 times already trying to do it myself. Here's what I did so far: 1 HD w/ 2 Partition w/ with NTFS format I want to install Ubuntu on the other drive/partition where there isn't file yet, Drive D:\ where C:\ is Windows Vista Some say I will need Partition Magic. But like i'd said I'd already partition it with Vista for 2. Also Ubuntu also come with it's own partition program that i can't remember, i think it's Gparted. Anyone available? As soon as I get used to Linux, I will destroy MS. Thanks from the NewB, Naut |
The Ubuntu installation is pretty simple and straight forward. Put in the disk and boot the system. It will guide you through from start to finish.

Ubuntu Next Step
Help w/ Next Step on Ubuntu
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, here's where I'm stuck at. Ubuntu Setup: Language Location Keyboard My Info Prepare Disk Space: 1. Resize IDE1(MASTER),partition#1 (HDA1)and use freed space. 2. Erase Entire IDE1(HDA) 82.3GB 3. Manually Edit Partition Option1 is default at 54%(19.9G), Assuming it's trying to resize the drive that Windows is on. Option2 I dont think is a good idea Option3 Came up with Gparted. It shows 2 box. Left box show empty. Right box show used space. Must be windows file. Here is what is say: Mount Point---Size---Partition--------Reformat /media/HDA1...39G....partition/hda1....[_] /media/HDA2...38G....partition/hda2....[_] I'm thinking I should use #3 for manually but what is my next step? |
