Entrance

The default Login-manager used for the E17 desktop shell is Entrance. Here is a collection of tips & tricks how to configure it.

To print out the current config, just type

entrance_edit

as root.

Turning on autologin

If you want your user to be logged in automatically, simply enable autologin, and set the user to login:

ecore_config -c /etc/entrance_config.cfg -k /entrance/autologin/mode -i 1 ecore_config -c /etc/entrance_config.cfg -k /entrance/autologin/user -s "tom"

(replace tom with your username, of course)

Disable the preselection mode

Once logged it, Entrance remebers that user and preselects it on login. A small bug causes that you can't simply type in a different name, so let's disable the preselection mode:

ecore_config -c /etc/entrance_config.cfg -k /entrance/presel/mode -i 0

Select a different user for preselection

ecore_config -c /etc/entrance_config.cfg -k /entrance/presel/prevuser -s "tom"
