Hi all,
The problem is still not completely cleared. My password in user accounts is set for automatic off, but at boot time, one mouse click on my login icon, loads my settings, but without a password. I don't want that to happen.
Also, if left inactive for a while, the password box comes up and it will not accept my valid password. That is the password that in terminal, is accepted for sudo.
I have set up, I hope correctly, an SSH key, but with the same password.
Are there any comments please, as to how to knock this on the head, once and for all?
I have searched extensively for system files with names similar to those mentioned in earlier posts, read many man pages and also many other Ubuntu technical sites.
