suse live cd, when u put in the disc & start it up it will ask for a password.? why? what is it? why isn’t it included with the download? the live disc is worthless without it. or is there a master password they use that the end user can change later?

Man I’m so lost now!!
Does anyone knows how to enble the shut down button on openSUSE system with gnome?
I just wanna have a button to click and then have the options (hibernate, shutdown, reboot…)!! I somehow messed the the config by disabling the F10 menu in the login screen!!
I hate to have to use the command line(terminal) to shut or reboot my thing!!
Is there any kind of menu or command to do this?

Auto Login is only for local security, that is correct. It’s still less secure in general.

I would like to understand a thing: if I check autologin, is this only about local security? From remote is it necessary always login and password?

Thanks, i switched to kdm myself, as kdm has no problems with auto-login. But now i miss some gdm power-options

I’ll have to check it out under xgl… I’m using kdm at the moment.

I had a problem with this (you can set it by the way, while you install suse). With xgl and compiz enabled, gdm would not let me auto login in gnome. Kdm had no problem with letting me login, but it gave me different problems with signing off in gnome. I guess the problem is xgl, because switching to aiglx solved this.

Is there a known work around? aiglx on my nvidia card does has some stability issues.
