Is there a simple way to not need to log into my cnc machine? Actually, is it possible to have linuxcnc fire up automatically too? I want to flip the breaker on my machine and then hit a power on contactor for the servos and be ready to machine. No time to be typing in passwords to drill a hole. image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/whistling.png lol
Now that my machine is mostly configured and ive got all the software in it, its not gonna be going online ever again.
Hmm I'm not seeing any options in Debian to auto login. I did some googling here and there over the last few weeks and havnt found a good way yet. My 10+ year old Ubuntu linuxcnc machine seemed a lot simpler to get going. Debian seems annoying so far.
For auto login to Debian open a terminal:
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Uncomment the following and add your user name, be sure to scroll far enough down to get past the comments sections.:
autologin-user=yourusername
autologin-user-timeout=0
Thank you MaHa! That did the trick. I messed with the lightdm.conf last night but I didn't know what i was doing, got scared, and changed it back to how it was.
