@DustinB3403 It's likely that nothing occurred and they never ran into a problem so never felt theneed to upgrade. lol

Talk about stability.... 17 years of no issues at all. Way to rock it Debian!

@DustinB3403 said in A quick settings question on Debian 2.x:
Wow debian 2.... I wonder what the reasoning there was for not upgrading......
Like what could have occurred there....
They forgot that the machine was there? No idea. That's up to 19 years old!!

No, this is a new build, maybe 4 months ago? I did a uname -a and got:
3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux... so my initial thought was incorrect.

That just makes this topic insane.... why use something so old. . . .

It's a machine dedicated to a wide-format printer. Nothing else. It's what their RIP software supports.

@scottalanmiller would it be:
sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.confautologin-user=YOURUSERNAME
autologin-user-timeout=0To just automatically log in?
-
@art_of_shred I know I shouldn't ask.... but the software doesn't operate on a modern OS?
There is probably some debian 2 documentation somewhere but that is really stretching the envelope.
-
@wirestyle22 that file doesn't exist. I just ran the sudo command and it opened a blank file.

What desktop environment is this machine using?

If you're paying attention, you'll see that I goofed and it's Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

I don't understand the question
Debian is the OS. But the question here about sleep mode and logging in automatically are about the desktop environment that is running on top of Debian. Each desktop environment can be pretty unique so we have to know that to know where settings for it might be. For example in the Windows world... DOS 8 was the OS and Windows 98 was the desktop environment. As you can imagine, the majority of settings were part of the desktop environment, not the OS.
