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

        sudo visudo

        Find this line:

        %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL

        Change the line:

        %sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

        That's for sudo permissions and does not affect logins.

            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.

                    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.conf

                      autologin-user=YOURUSERNAME
                      autologin-user-timeout=0

                      To 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.

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

                                            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.
