I don't really understand your description of the problem, to be honest.

This really is a Debian question, not linuxcnc.

There is plenty of help on the debian forum, depends what display manager you have (xfce is default for the distro)
forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=81645 = xfce
forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=104603 = lxdm

I don't understand the rest of it either I'm afraid

regards

i figured this out!
here is step by step for future searchers:

hi Guys

Small stand between


Have tried everything possible , unfortunately worked the input is not in the terminal .
Habs then tried with and it was at first attempt .
Thank you very much


1. open terminal
2. type "su" (without quotes) and hit enter - (this will made you temporarily be root user which is necessary to edit important system files)
3. it will ask for password and it won't show letters while typing, put password hit enter
4. type in without quotes: "mousepad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" and hit enter - (this will open lightdm.conf file in text editing program called mousepad)
5. under [SeatDefaults] (be sure not to search under: # Seat defaults), find line: #autologin-user= (after quotes there will be some comment), delete whole line (with # and comment), and replace it with: autologin-user=yourusername (instead of "yourusername" put your real user name)
6. under [SeatDefaults] (be sure not to search under: # Seat defaults), find line: #autologin-user-timeout= (after quotes there will be some comment), delete whole line (with # and comment), and replace it with: autologin-user-timeout=0
7. click: file-save, exit mousepad, exit terminal
8. restart computer and watch it logging in debian without prompting you for username and password
