1. I'd like to autologin. Pidsley has a 'how - to' for Coal but for some reason this doesn't work on Bakewell. A suggestion by mb to wm on the linux-noob forum (a variation on Pidsley's) broke his system (admittedly a different bbq spin).
2. I'd like to be able to shutdown, reboot, logout etc. This doesn't work on Bakewell. The menu commands don't work. Issuing systemctl commands directly don't work. For example
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl poweroff
I've read and read and read about these issues but being a knobend am now a little confused.
Influenced in part by the following discussion http://linuxnoob.freeforums.org/quick-i ... -t200.html
. . . I've concluded that the only way to solve these issues is to install a DM.
If this is the case I'm thinking of installing LXDM.
Any suggestions to the contrary appreciated.
