最近正在研究學生機房虛擬化的解決方案，選用的是Ubuntu 10.10 Mini版本的操作系統，一切都是從頭開始安裝的，所以比較清楚自己安裝了些什麼。GUI我只是安裝了一個簡陋的Wmaker。只是，有一個問題產生了， 啟動的時候總是到字符界面等待用戶輸入用戶名和密碼。這個問題讓我郁悶了很久！不過，在今天終於解決了，是通過下面這個文檔成功的解決了。不用輸入用戶名密碼，直接登錄到指定用戶的圖形界面。是不是很酷呢！如果你感興趣的話，可以看看下面的內容，之所以沒有翻譯，是因為本人認為E文是不可避免的。呵呵！
Ubuntu makes it easy to enable automatic login if you’re using a login manager such as GDM. I was recently setting up a minimal Ubuntu 9.10 system with an LXDE desktop and no GDM. Here’s how I enabled automatic login.
Note: This was tested on Ubuntu 9.10. Previous versions of Ubuntu require different procedures because of changes to the way Ubuntu boots.
Open /etc/init/tty1.conf as root:
sudo nano /etc/init/tty1.conf
Change the last line of this file to (where USERNAME is the username of the user you want to log in):
exec /bin/login -f USERNAME < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2>&1
Reboot, and the user you chose should be logged in automatically after boot. If something goes wrong, you can switch to a different TTY with CTRL+ALT+F2 and log in normally.
If you want this user to be logged into a graphical environment instead of just a shell, there’s more work to be done. Open your user’s .bashrc file:
nano ~/.bashrc
Add the following to the end of the file:
if [ $(tty) == "/dev/tty1" ]; then
startx
fi
This code will start X (the graphical environment) whenever the user logs in on TTY1. You can add more code after startx that will be executed if the user logs out of X.
