Auto Login disables audio hardware buttons

Hard to believe but this one is strange.
If I edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and merely enable autologin and set the user to login in as then the hardware buttons that control the volume control stop working.
Removing the entries and just returning the custom.conf file to just the section headings solves the problem.
Is there anyway to have both?
I searched through the docs but nothing mentions hardware buttons.
http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/docs/2.14/configuration.html
Granted these are a bit dated.
Thanks in advance.

The same happened to my PB G4 15" after installing 10.5.7, but went away as soon as I restarted the Mac.
I cannot tell if it is a frequent issue because the PB is my backup computer and I don't use it very often.

No Way to disable audio from Video in Photoshop CS6

I have a video clip that has an audio track that I want to remove, however it seems that the track specific "mute or unmute audio track" and "Disable Audio Playback" buttons only affect playback inside of Photoshop and do not affect the exported output. Am I missing something or is this the designed effect of these buttons? Is there a way to remove the audio track in the current build of Photoshop CS6 without going to something like Premiere Pro?
Thank you,
Brandon Boswell

Disabling Auto-Login Option

How do we disable Auto-Login option in OBPM 10GR3 because I get the following error:-
You have the autologin option enabled and the session for this execution has expired .

So nobody else has been bitten by this stupid bug?
Anyway, it happens on a pure VGA console too, so it has nothing to do with the video driver. And I take back the “more of an inconvenience” part – it is freaking annoying that one can not just properly change the runlevel. Oh well…

Disable auto login from terminal in 10.6

Hi everyone,
What is the command to disable automatic login from the command line in 10.6? I cannot simply delete the com.apple.loginwindow.plist file as I have other settings I need to keep.
TIA!
Andrew

Hi,
you can use the defaults system to edit this preferences file. The autologin option is stored in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow in a key named autoLoginUser followed by the user name who is configured for an auto login. To disable this option you can simply delete the autoLoginUser key by using the following command:
defaults delete /library/preferences/com.apple.loginwindow autoLoginUser
You can check the content of a preferences file by using the defaults read command:
-----------------------snip--------------------------
defaults read /library/preferences/com.apple.loginwindow

Thanks

Hi,
You can extend the Controller of that page and in extended controller on page load
Capture the Requistion details and valid approvers from a Prepared Statement.
Then match the Approvers with the Login user name (pageContext.getUserName())
If the user name is not there in the valid approvers then set the disabled property of button to true,
bean.setDiasbled(true);

Menu button to disable audio

In my current DVD, I have a nice background audio playing until the user clicks a video button. However, some people don't like audio and want to disable it. I looked but couldn't find anything that would allow users to disable the background music. So... How can I add a "Disable Background Music" button to my main menu?
Thanks,
Dan.

Dan,
Not to speak for Stanley, but I think so. He's addressing the Menu to control things, and I was talking about the way to handle it on the Timeline.
I use multiple Audio streams often, but usually with DD 5.1 SS and DTS. In my case, DTS is not an allowed primary Audio stream, so it goes to Audio Track 2, and my DD 5.1 SS AC3 goes on Audio Track 1, where it would reside, if there was no Audio Track 2. In your case, instead of DTS, you would have the "silent" Track.
Those Buttons would link to the Timeline, one directly to Audio Track 1, and the other to Audio Track 2. Note: this is done by specifying the Link, and making the choice from the fly-out menu.
The user can either use that Menu to choose, or the Audio button on the Remote Control.
Stanley's memory is better than mine obviously, as I could not recall a "silent" version. Now, I do field questions on supplemental Audio Tracks with frequency.
Good luck,
Hunt

MDT 2012 Update 1 - Deployment - Auto Login won't Disable

Hello,
I am using MDT 2012 Update 1 with an almost vanilla Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 test box. I can deploy both images fine and get a success on my summary but both machines continue to auto login to the Administrator account. To my understanding, the Auto Login
should be shutoff via the LTIcleanup script. When I double check the script for the reg keys that are added/deleted I can confirm that this is happening but the images still continue to auto login to the admin account.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thought I would let those who are interested know. After speaking with Microsoft Premier Support they determined that you must have a password on the Administrator account. If you don't then something goofs up and causes the auto logon issues that I was
having.

Auto login after new user registration

Hello,
I would like to go directly to a restricted page (add session variables for username, level, etc) after a new user is registered, without first going to the login page. Is there a way to do this? I tried adding a login user behavior to my new user registration page, but it disabled the form validation on the page. I also tried copying some of the login page code (login transactions) into the new user registration page, but that didn't work either... any help would be greatly appreciated!
Steve
BTW, I am not utilizing email activation

Well I finally figured out a work around... I am sure others will run into this problem and if someone can explain it to me I would be happy. But for now this will work.
The above code that Steve U posted works for me exactly 50% of the time. It will work every other time, why I don't know. I even changed all of my temp and session directories in php configuration, changed from php5 to php4 and still no fix.
Here is what I did to get it to work:
On your registration form underneath the insert transaction you copy and paste the login transaction (that you generate on a login page).
*Change tNG_login(this is your server connection)
*Change the POST value to match your submit button on your registration form, mine is KT_Insert1.
*Modify the redirect trigger to go to the page you want to redirect to after registration.
*Change the kt_login_user and kt_login_password addColumn values to match the username and password fields in your registration form, mine are email_usr and password_usr
*comment out the kt_login_rememberme addColumn (or if you need this, modify the code to allow for it in the registration form)
I have now successfully registered a new account and had it auto-login to the user protected area 10 times in a row now, so this should be working.
If you want some sample code here it is:
// Make a login transaction instance
$loginTransaction = new tNG_login($conn_connection);
$tNGs->addTransaction($loginTransaction);
// Register triggers
$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Insert1");
//$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("BEFORE", "Trigger_Default_FormValidation", 10, $formValidation);
$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "user/confirmlogin.php");
// Add columns
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_user", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "email_usr");
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_password", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "password_usr");
//$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_rememberme", "CHECKBOX_1_0_TYPE", "POST", "kt_login_rememberme", "0");
// End of login transaction instance

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
The operation system is Windows XP.
They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash. You are left with no video signal to the monitor. Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
We have tried:
Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
There seems to be two ways to work round this issue. One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows. The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC? Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
Thanks in advance
Daniel.

Hi.
I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
Thanks.

View Planner 3.5 Auto Login

I am having an issue where I have the GoldenDesktop Setup. It logs in without issue. This VM was created with the same customization file as the next set.   Once I use the View Planner to provision the remaining VMs, each have their local admin account disabled.   They do report to the View Planner. They do start the workload. However, only the original VM uploads the data. Any ideas?

Yes, agree.   The auto login was working after the view agent was loaded. However, once the customization wizard ran, I noticed a few changes. The admin was disabled and the registry entries were missing under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogin. The keys needed to login were AutoAdminLogon = "1" (Enabled), DefaultUserName = Administrator DefaultPassword = Q1w2e3r4! .   This was present before the customization wizard. So, I looked at the customization wizard closer. On the 4th step for "Administrator Password" you need to set the password toe Q1w2e3r4!. Furthermore, place a check mark for "Automatically log on as the Administrator". I also set this value to 10.   After doing this, the login portion worked.
The second issue I had was the .bat file behavior.   It needed to be set to "open this file each time". Since there were only 50 desktops, I check the box on each and pressed open. I'm sure there is a setting to fix this. However, I haven't researched it enough to comment just yet.

Auto logins on websites no longer working

I recently (a couple days ago) got a pop-up on the lower part of my screen that said that firefox was going kind of slowly or something along those lines and said if I would like to fix this that I could click this button. Well I did that and it took me to a page that talked about resetting firefox to its default settings but that all info pretty much would be kept correct like my passwords, bookmarks, addons, and other things like that. Well I said what the heck and tried it and when it was finally done doing what ever it was doing I get back online with none of my opening tabs aloud to be there so that was wiped out, my book marks were there so that was good, but all of my addons like X-notifier and things like that were now gone, and when I go to pages now it has no idea who I am. My user names don't show up or the passwords. I can login to them and it might be fine for 5-10 minutes but then all of a sudden it tells me that I need to login all over again. Even my X-notifier does it and its supposed to know my login permanently so I never have to type it in. But I can be in the middle of sorting my emails and trying to delete something get a message that says I am no longer signed in to my email account.
I have searched all over in the tools>options area and made sure everything is the same as it used to be with saving passwords and even scrolled through my stuff saved to see if something had gotten deleted but they are all there and I see no reason why it would not log me in to the ANY site. I know some of the sites out there don't like to allow auto login stuff which I am fine with but some of these websites I am the owner of and I know for a fact that its not my site doing it. The repeated login issue is really getting on my nerves cause its started to disturb my daily working. Please help me with figuring this out.
Thanks
Troy

I am going to try the stuff mentioned by you above and see if it helps. I know its affecting this site as well and isn't keeping logged in at all as I have had to re-type my password each time I come here.

Problems joining Wi-Fi networks that require viewing a redirect page in iOS 8.1.1? Check your "Auto-Login" setting.

Are you having problems joining previously used Wi-Fi networks that require you to view a login or redirect page (say to accept Terms of Use) first? The problem could be your Auto-Login Wi-Fi network setting.
I found numerous cases where I could not access in-store Wi-Fi networks (Nordstrom was one), hotel networks or in fact networks where you had to first view a Terms and Conditions page or where you had to login via a web form.
These were all networks I had used before.
This appears to be due to the "Auto-Login" setting assuming that once you (re)join a previously known network you can just go ahead and use it without further action. When the iOS device receives an error trying to use the network, it silently drops the Wi-Fi association.
If this is happening to you, follow these steps:
1) Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
2) Select the network you want to join
3) When a check-mark appears next to the SSID, press the "i" button on the right hand side
4) Set Auto-Join however you want, but shut off the Auto-Login switch
5) Now attempt to use the network and you should be presented with the usual redirect page with terms you must accept or where you must login to use the Wi-Fi network in question
This cleared up the issue for me everywhere I had previously been having issues.

Just let me get one thing straight...you don't change don't do this for the PC you have your router plugged in to?
"For Vista:
1. Open Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center, Manage Network Connections
2. If Wireless, Right click on your Wireless Network Connection, otherwise, Right click on Local Area Connection and click Properties
3. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)
4. Click Properties
5. Tick Use the Following IP Address and enter the IP you want to use for that PC. I would start at 192.168.0.100(D-Link) and work your way up on each additional device. The second device would be 192.168.0.101, the 3rd, 192.168.0.102 and so on. Like I said, different brands of routers use different IP's, so it could be 192.168.1.100 and so on, so you will need to know the IP address of your router first.
6. Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 on all pc's and devices
7. Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is on all pc's and devices
8. Tick Use the Following DNS Server Address and enter 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is and click OK.
9. You will need to do this on all Vista Pc's"

How do I disable the wireless button on my Acer Aspire 3000

I got my Broadcomm wireless working, and everything's great, except for the design of this stupid laptop. The button that toggles the wireless is positioned in a way that if I am leaning back with the laptop on my lap, my belt or stomach often accidentally turns the wireless off.
Is there a way I can keep the WLAN working, and just disable this stupid button?

If the button on your laptop is anything like the one on my old one (an old model Sony Vaio), the switch is actually a hardware switch that simply completes a circuit and provides power to the wireless card. If this is the case, short of taping the button in the 'on' position or opening the case to solder the connection, I don't see a way to keep it on indefinitely.

Auto login and password problems with Safari after OS 7.0.4 update?

Hi all,
I updated my IPad 4 to OS 7.0.4 , now Safari won't auto login to my favorite forums and won't remember my user names or pass words. I checked in Safari settings and Names/passwords and auto fill are on. Have restarted a number of times but no change. Any fixes?
Thanks.
