v5.01 no login prompt on boot

Post#1 by sepp1945 » 28 Feb 2024, 02:15

I am running v5.1 cinnamon with >>>APPEND changes=/mnt/sdc/porteus/save.dat copy2ram login= <<<<
but it still boots directly to the main screen

What i am missing?

I want the system to ask for a user and a Password on login.

v5.1
you mean v5.01 :)
try with nologin

something to do with when we switched back lxdm, i think..

WHEN i login with guest(pw=guest) everthing works fine as i setup
BUT when i login with a new user (PW=strong) i get only a blank screen with a "S" in the lower right corner (Menu with all the options) but the exit and logoff greyed out, (can do it when hovering over it)
how can i send you screenshots?

Post your image to http://postimage.org/ and post the Forum Link it shows for your .png file. Post it as shown on the postimage.org page. Add no img tags.

This way: https://postimg.cc/Z9sNtmLQ works. At least the image can be seen if clicked on.

This way: Image doesn't.
