Google Xfce, they have documentation by vers. bugfixes and support forums, just may be a more direct route for you.:wink:

It has nothing to do with Xfce or whatever desktop ennvironment you’re using. It happens earlier, before the window manager starts, at the session manager level (kdm or gdm).

  • for kdm, edit the file /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc and change
    AutoLoginEnable=false to AutoLoginEnable=true
    You should also specify your login name in AutologinUser
  • for gdm, edit the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf and change
    AutomaticLoginEnable=false to AutomaticLoginEnable=true
    Also specify which user in AutomaticLogin=

There might be fancy GUI interfaces to do it that I don’t know about. :frowning:
This is not the openSUSE way, just the Linux/Unix generic way.

Maybe the following command would tell me what it is:
ps ax | grep -e gdm -e kdm -e session

xdm may also be in use here.

10

that is a problem?
You have the solution to this problem?

xdm is another display manager like kdm or gdm,it can be the default on a minimum install.

please_try_again has offered good replies to your question,my comment was simply to suggest one other display manager that may be in use.
