Something new's happening and I'm not sure that I can find the problem and I've looked . I've searched through the Settings and Preferences in the Mint menu - and so far I've not gotten things to go back the way they were . I get a new screen - all orange with a request for a sign-in name and password - neither of which I've ever set for startup . I have a password for using sudo and at times where there's updates or requests by me to do things on a management level . So - how do I get rid of this request to put in info that I never set up in the first place? It won't accept just 'nothing' or hitting ENTER . I get back into the distro by restarting the 'puter - and that works just fine - but it slows things down a lot .	SurferJoe46 (51)

When does it appear as it seems you've logged in if you can get to settings, etc . This might be some program you installed, any hints on what the window, dialog or actual message says?	Kame (312)

1453775	2018-09-24 02:39:00	It's just a sign-in screen - waiting for a password and name to start up. Orange is kinda strange too what with it being a MINT distro - I'd expect green at the least. It won't PRNT SCR (SYSTEM REQ) at all - since the distro isn't really up-n-running at that point I think. Maybe I can restart it and take a picture. Normally I don't turn this 'puter off until I bed-out around 01:00 or so, and reboot in the Early:00. I leave Pithos running as long as the 'puter is running. Oh yeah - thanks for the guide on getting Pithos onto the taskbar. ;)	SurferJoe46 (51)

If it is on auto-login there will be no notice, but will ask you for a key ring password every time you open the Chrome browser, which is a pain. Much better to do a manual login & get it over with. My Mint password is Z, very easy to use. There is nothing of value to on my Mint, most of my work is done online.	mzee (3324)

1453779	2018-09-25 05:58:00	I stumbled through this and finally cured it. It WAS in the Manual v Auto log-in settings, something about which I knew very little (nothing really). My wonder now is how did it change? I dunnow. I was gonna take a pix of it - but this AM I had to go to get my INR taken and I am in a bad zone with the results of it, so the hospital panicked and I had to stay for a while until I got better numbers. They are really afraid of me having any more strokes,. me too. I have a buddy whose password was "Incorrect" since that was the result of putting the wrong password into Windows. "Your password is incorrect" ------------> Worked for him anyway.	SurferJoe46 (51)
1453780	2018-09-26 17:37:00	OK - I think I can post this here...... I got a picture on my tablet that I sent to myself through GMail, then uploaded it to my DROPBOX.... and then downloaded it to this Linux/Mint.... where now I can't find it .... so I sent it to Google Photos, and I can see it but the name is 128 letters/numbers long and doesn't end with jpeg, jpg, etc, etc.... so this site won't accept the file as a legal request .... so now I had to send it to G+ and see if I could find it there.... nope..... and now if I can find it and actually post it here..... well, let me try ...... (hoops-n-barrels!) GOT IT! (don't ask me how I got it here --- but here it is ---- so enjoy! BTW: it turned orange again.......... 9053	SurferJoe46 (51)
