Script to log me into XFCE from different user/terminal [debian]
by GavrielBA from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53KQE)
Hi! I'm not even sure how to word the question so I'll be as detailed as possible.
This is what I want to accomplish: when the computer boots to XFCE login screen I ctrl+alt+F1 to tty0 and login as root. From there I want to run a script/command which will log me in as a different user back in XFCE (ctrl+alt+f7).
If it's a difficult question to answer then I'll be fine even with some hints and directions! I'm assuming that the gui screen (c+a+f7) is not simply tty6, right? Is it an x11 client? I love learning Linux! It greatly improves my programming skills!
