Auto-login with MATE and Automount USB ports
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2021 2:27 pm
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 .
