Auto Login with Ubuntu
So typically I would not recommend auto login setting be set for your system but there are some exceptions. For example, when that system is a Virtual Machine running on your desktop.
I’ve been playing around a lot with my Ubuntu configuration on a virtual machine running under VMWare Fusion. I got tired of having to log into the machine every time I booted it when I was already logged onto my desktop of the host machine. So for the first time, I found myself trying to figure out how to auto login my Linux desktop. In my typical “learn the hard way” fashion, I over thought the problem and approach several times before discovering how simple it was. A couple of clicks to be exact.
Step 1: Fire up a terminal screen and type “ sudo gdmsetup ”
Step 2: This should bring up the “Login Window Preferences” dialog box. Click on the security tab, click the check box for “Enable Automatic Login”, select the user you want to Auto Login as and click close.
That’s it, couldn’t be simpler.
Novell gets $348 million from Microsoft
This is a little old but I thought iI would go ahead and throw something on my site. .
Novell has published additional details about its agreements with Microsoft concerning Windows and Linux interoperability and patents. It seems the company is receiving an up-front payment of $348 million from Microsoft, for SLES subscription “certificates” and for patent cross-licensing. Spread the word: digg this story In Novell’s Form 8-K submission to the SEC (Security and Exchanges Commission), Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, the company states that “Under the Business Collaboration Agreement, which expires January 1, 2012, Novell and Microsoft will market a combined offering. The combined offering will consist of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and a subscription for SLES support along with Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft Virtual Server and Microsoft Viridian that will be offered to customers desiring to deploy Linux and Windows in a virtualized setting.”
What exactly does this mean? Hard to say at this point. Is this strange? Not as strange as one might initially think. If you recall, Microsoft did something very similar with Apple a few years back.
