I have installed Arch and am having problems with the auto login options within slim.conf. I have installed the following X packages:

xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-twm, xterm and for the graphics: xf86-video-fbdev

I have also added a user and password, and altered the sudoers file to suit. I have changed the following lines:

# default_user simone # auto_login no

to:

default_user jon auto_login yes

I have managed to get the slim login prompt to appear on boot by editing /etc/inittab, but the changes made for bypassing this have not been as successful.

Anybody know what I have missed? Maybe something to do with adding a user to some group?

  • could you please add your .xinitrc? Commented Aug 3, 2012 at 10:14

Reset to default

default_user and auto_login looks fine, but how does your login_cmd look? Does this work for you?

login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session

(with an appropriate ~/.xinitrc in place, that is also "chmod +x"-ed)
