[SOLVED] No Login at Startup
 

Greeting Y'all:

With Manjaro 20.1 Cinnamon, there is no request for a password.
When returning from sleep or upgrading there is the demand for
a password.

Is this a PAM issue? Is there a module missing?

I also have both Electron and Electron 9 in my software directory. I have searched the net and found very little information, regarding this problem.

I am confused - are there 2 separate issues here? Electron has nothing to do with the ability to login.

It has been years since I have used cinnamon but there must be a configuration item in the "control panel" or whatever cinnamon calls it, that determines whether auto login to the desktop is enabled. I would check that and disable auto login so you are prompted to login to the desktop. That is your desired behavior, correct?

Well, as for Electron it's a framework for certain cross-platform software. You don't specifically install it but if you install any packages that require it will load on your machine.

Some common programs that Linux users would be likely to have are BitWarden, Skype,and balenaEtcher.

I know what Electron is; I was trying to figure out why it was included in the OP's post because Electron has zilch to do with logging in. Perhaps OP had a separate issue with Electron and included that in the post.

Yes, I think it was a separate question and I meant the reply to be to OP.

7 Dog, I mention Electron, solely because I have it and Electron 9 in my
software menu. I assumed that one can be deleted?

Yes, you are correct that I wish to require a password to open the
desktop and get on the Internet.

No options in either Account Details or Window Login.

I also have python2 and python3 in my repositories, and GTK2 and GTK3, and Fiefox in 3 different versions, and and and...

If no program depends on it, you can uninstall Electron.

Thank you the clarification, Ondoho! How do I determine which if any
programs are dependent up pond it? I did not install Electron or Electron 9
on my own. Is it posted when the uninstall attempt is made?

"Electron is a framework that enables you to create desktop applications with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. These applications can then be packaged to run directly on macOS, Windows, or Linux, or distributed via the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store.

Typically, you create a desktop application for an operating system (OS) using each operating system's specific native application frameworks. Electron makes it possible to write your application once using technologies that you already know."

"How Electron Works

Electron takes a main file defined in your package.json file and executes it. This main file creates application windows which contain rendered web pages and interaction with the native GUI (graphical user interface) of your Operating System.

As you start an application using Electron, a main process is created. This main process is responsible for interacting with the native GUI of the Operating System. It creates the GUI of your application.

Just starting the main process does not give the users of your application any application window. These are created by the main process in the main file by using the BrowserWindow module. Each browser window then runs its own renderer process. The renderer process takes an HTML file which references the usual CSS files, JavaScript files, images, etc. and renders it in the window.

The main process can access the native GUI through modules available directly in Electron. The desktop application can access all Node modules like the file system module for handling files, request to make HTTP calls, etc."

By this definition, it appears that it has some value to the user, however, I suspect the average Manjaroian will have little or no use for.

There does seem good reason to keep Electron on one's rig.

You're clearly already logged in. The problem is that the system cannot find "path-to-app" - because it clearly doesn't exist. You're also passing "path-to-app" as an argument, therefore you need to actually replace "path-to-app" with the name of a program that does actually exist.

I think OP wants to auto-login to the desktop but I am not a cinnamon user and have no idea where or even if this option exists in Manjaro.

If I remember rightly, they would have to configure their display manager to do auto-logins.

7 Dog, yes, you put it into better words than me. It does exist because I have a second ManJaro
and it requires a password to open the desktopper.
