Graphical login screen.

[perry]

Hi,

I don't want to use auto login, but login screen like xdm.
So that a user has to login.

Is this possible and how ?

I use tiny core linux version 3.2.

Use the noautologin boot option.
You will get a console login prompt.
Login as tc and X will start.

There is no x/k/gdm.

[perry]

Is it possible to add something like x/k/gdm ?

Perry

Use the noautologin boot option.
You will get a console login prompt.
Login as tc and X will start.

There is no x/k/gdm.

[gerald_clark]

Install it from appbrowser.

[perry]

I tried to install xdm, but it wil not start after boot.

tc@box:~$ cat /opt/bootlocal.sh
#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here
xdm &

@perry: If you would have done a search for 'xdm' in this forum you would have encountered what I wrote several month ago.

I've now done a quick re-test on TC 3.2 and I don't think that anything is different. So IMHO this particular extention is "broken" and should either get repaired or removed from the repository.

I will mark xdm.tcz as "broken" and keep it up for reference purposes.  I have also tried it to no avail.  I will mark this in the info file, as it also uses a user.tar.gz which is long deprecated.

[perry]

Is there a build script for the xdm package ?

It doesn't look like a script (or source) is in TC's source directories. The source for xdm can be found here: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/app/

Looks like the xdm extension was built for TC 1.x and never updated...and the source for that build may be from ubuntu...

[Jason W]

I can't find a source for it here, perhaps was overlooked.

Hi,

I created a compile script for xdm.
