maemo.org - Talk - [Debian] Deblet how to: n800 and 770 gdm login.

Sorry, if this has already been there, but i did not find thread with this.

n800 and 770 do not have a hardware keyboard, and there is no on-screen keyboard for gdm. GDM users can also login without password. This way they can easily select desktop environment where they want to log in.

First, download gdm theme that has face-browser (or whatever it's called) and enable it.

Make this file:

Code:

/etc/gdmnopassusers

(type "nano /etc/gdmnopassusers" to create and edit the file)

And add user(s) that you want to be able to log in without a password. one user for each row.

Then edit this file:

Code:

/etc/pam.d/gdm

(By typing "nano /etc/pam.d/gdm" in terminal.)

And add this line into script>

Code:

auth sufficient pam_listfile.so file=/etc/gdmnopassusers sense=allow item=user

important! Right place is just before this line:

Code:

@include common-auth

Now, the file shoud look like this:

Code:

#%PAM-1.0

auth    requisite       pam_nologin.so

auth    required        pam_env.so readenv=1

auth    required        pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale

auth    sufficient      pam_listfile.so file=/etc/gdmnopassusers sense=allow item=user

@include common-auth

auth    optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so

@include common-account

session required        pam_limits.so

@include common-session

session optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

@include common-password

I have n810, but i use this because it's faster to login without password.
