What desktop environment is this machine using?

I don't understand the question

Gnome, Unity, etc

How can I tell? I have no idea where to find that.

Normally it says when you go to log in. Can you log in now? What does it look like? Generally they are easy to eyeball.

That would be Gnome 3.

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.

I was able to find the suspend setting under Main Menu>System Tools>Administration>System Settings. I can't figure out the "login w/o password" part.

Did anything like that exist on debian 2?

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

@wirestyle22 that file doesn't exist. I just ran the sudo command and it opened a blank file.

@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!

17+ don't forget!

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.

I need to find and turn off sleep mode and also disable the password requirement for login on a recently-acquired Debian 2.x desktop, but I haven't the foggiest where to find those settings. Does anyone here know?

My daughter stole some of my bruschetta.

Eat faster!

My wife hates how fast that I eat as it is because the kids normally steal her food because of it.

lol
now days my wife hates how slow I eat. She has hyper acute hearing. I'm not sure how much above normal, but enough that me chewing annoys her, etc.

There was a news thing last week about how some people actually have a condition that makes people angry to hear other people chew.

That's not a condition, it's called being a prick. Get over yourself. Chewing makes noise.

I avoid buying smart tv's... The UI of Roku's or AppleTV is superior to the crap built into the tvs

We have a smart TV but also don't use it. We have Apple TV and a Quantum Byte connected to it.

I used my free pizza credit from Domino's tonight. They screwed up the order, but caught it during their quality check. As a result, I got two pizzas for free.

The good news is you got free pizza. The bad news is that it's Domino's.

Guys, the motivation here isn't to heal it's to get away with eating as much ice cream and pudding as I can

You'll regret that quickly.

I guess either you get it or you don't. @scottalanmiller is clearly in the latter camp.

Sweet. There's a Micro Centre here too. Just north of 635 on 75 Central.

What is the small white module in the upper right hand corner?

That's the "cloud key", basically a hardware device that runs the control software for all the UniFi products.

Not really worth it. for $5/month you can setup a vultr VM that will host this for you.

Why couldn't one just use that USG for the wifi controller?

The USG doesn't have the controller software in it. Don't ask me why, that would only seem to make sense, at least as an option.

So what's special about the USG? It just looks like another router in the lineup.
