Hi Moe
Long time since Apataki
Thank you so much for Navigatrix, but each time I install it on a computer , I'm unable to set a password to boot. If i ask a password to start Navigatrix, everyhting ok untill the forth letter or number or sign,so eachtime I've installed it without password to start.
Any suggestion?

Merci, beaucoup de gens font Navigatrix possible. Je espère que tout va bien avec vous et Gerard. Aussi étrange que cela puisse sembler, je voudrais revenir à Apataki Carenage passer plus de temps.

(For those who don't know,Apitaki Carenage is the best DIY boatyard in the South Pacific)

I am having a little trouble understanding what you want to do.

First off, on the LiveCD version of Navigatrix, the user is nx. This user (nx) does not require a password. This requirement has been circumvented by /etc/sudoers.d/00navigatrix which instructs the system in specific instances to grant access without a password. By default, as a security measure, the root password is not set (I'm told, technically it is set, but it is unknown to anyone/thing, alive or not alive.)

...but that doesn't really apply to you.

Setting passwords with sudo passwd is a straight forward process, if you have sudo access. It is always the command followed by the user for whom you wish to change/set the password. If no user is stated it will change the password of the current user logged in.Ok, that is how you set/change the password for anyone on a system you have sudo privileges .

To log on to the system, either automagically, or with a password, is controlled by the Light Desktop Manager configuration file found at /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf . For auto-login, it looks like thisIf I would want the system to ask for a password when it boots, you place a #, like thisAlthough not necessary, I place a space after the # for readability.

Adding a # to the beginning of any line and it become a "comment" and not something the system will use. Essentially it is a comment to a human that could be used to improve, fix, or revert the code.

This file can be modified via Save, and exit.

Was this close to what you wanted to know?

Hi
"If I would want the system to ask for a password when it boots"
That's what I was looking for, but I'm so beginner with Linux Gnu , I have to learn somewhere the basis to use your information, thank you, I'll find how to !!

That is what you do. open a terminalThen you go down 5 lines and place a # at the beginning, so it looks likeSave, and exit.

You will be asked for a password on the next boot.

Sorry but it's not working:

Yes, I know the terminal shows errors, but the text editor appears in another window that pops up. To not see the errors you would use look for the pop up window.

I've done it, it appears like that when I open it now but still no passwd asked on start, I don't know what I 'm doing wrong, thanks for your patience

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=zelda
autologin-user-timeout=0
# autologin-session=lightdm-autologin
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on
user-session=Navigatrix

Let me look into the problem, because it works when I add/remove the # on the line autologin-session=lightdm-autologin....it's a mystery.

I'm sorry, Zelda. I can't replicate the problem.

It's like Adrian's trouble with wvdial.conf, no matter what I do, it works every time.

It's hard to fix if I can't break it. Sorry.

Hello
I 'd like to disable passwords request on wake up (after suspend and hibernation), how to do it ?
