[RESOLVED] How to skip sign-in on boot

[bill-lancaster]

I am the only person to use my PC, at the moment a log in dialogue appears on boot. How can I avoid this?

Thanks, but that doesn't give me an automatic network connection with any interaction.
I have a number of applications that run at boot time, if there's no wifi connection they show a warning prompt.

That's the useful info, as this is something else entirely.
Again: System Settings >> network --Connections (or via the 'configure' option in the Network Connections system tray applet
Select your connection >> General Configuration >> "all users may connect"

This one allows the WiFi to connect before the user has logged in.
Else configure those applications to wait a spell, and not be in such a rush

Easier to load Wifi for all users before login.

System Settings >> search for 'login" (or go to Startup and Shutdown) >> Login Screen >> click the 'Behavior' button and go from there.

Thanks Claydoh,

Sorry, my mistake, it's the KDE Wallet that is asking for login password for network connection.

Ok, that should have been set up to use your user password and unlock at login, but this connection can get 'broken'.

An easy way to fix it that still works after all these decades lol:
System Settings >> KDE Wallet >> Wallet manager >> Change Password >> set a blank password. It will give a warning message, but you can click 'ok', etc

Thanks claydoh,
'all user may connect' was already set.
Changed Wallet password to Null, now network connects without any interaction.
Thanks again
