As you may know when AL installs there are 2 users: root and arklinux. Both are
disabled, but arklinux logs in automatically. The problem arises that a user
(like me) will try to stop autologins for security or something. They then try
to login and... UhO! no logins are enabled!
My ideas is for Ark to alert the user, either on quitting the user manager
program, the login configuration, or logging off that there are no enabled users
(that is, it's impossible to login).
It can be something like this:
Warning!
Ark Linux has no enabled users: if you logoff, you wont be able to log back on
again. When you start Ark Linux, you are required to login as a user so the
system knows who you are and can set up your desktop and other personalized
stuff. If no users are enabled then then Ark Linux can't give anyone access to
thier programs, files, or the network or Internet. To enable a user, goto K >
whereever > whatever and (I don't know this, I'm used to the CLI).
[OK]
Thanks, my 1st Linux flavor was AL9 and my 1st install got sunk by doing that.
