I'm a total Linux newbie, so please bear with me....
I have installed LinuxCNC 2.91 under Debian12. Everytime the machine starts I need to enter username and password. This PC will be dedicated to a milling machine and will only be by used by me, and will probably not be connected to the internet so it would be more convenient if on power-up the login and password screen would simply be bypassed. I did find one reference stating to modify
lightdm.conf
So I opened a command prompt and typed "sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" and then removed (under the "[Seat:*]" section, the '#' for the following two lines (I assume the # means comment) and added my user name after =
Changed.....
#autologin-user=
#autologin-user-timeout=0
to
autologin-user=myusername
autologin-user-timeout=0
I then did ^O, and ^X the file appears to have been updated, because when I reopen the file I can see my changes.
This does NOT seem to work and does not address the password aspect.
myusername is my actual username
Suggestions welcome.
