Auto-login with MATE and Automount USB ports

Post by rwilki68 »

I recently loaded Ghost-BSD on to my Toshiba Satellite
C660.
Here are a couple of tips I discovered that you may find useful.

Auto-login with MATE

I used the method below borrowed from my Linux experience to auto-login straight from boot to desktop.
The lightdm.conf file can be edited to achieve this.
This file is found at:
/usr/local/etc/lightdm

Use sudo Pluma (or vi) to edit the file on the command line.
Scroll down the file till you find the lines below:

#autologin-guest=false
#autologin-user=user
#auto-login-user-timeout=0


Uncomment the lines by removing the “#” in front of each line.
Change the “user” to your username.

My username is ross to give:

autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=ross
auto-login-user-timeout=0

Save the file and reboot.

USB ports

My usb ports could not read my usb stick.I found a simple solution.
Use this on the command line :

sudo pkg install -fy automount

then reboot .
