How do you enable auto-login? I went into /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, uncommented autologin-user (and set it to = my login name), and uncommented autologin-user-timeout (and set it to = 0). Is there something else I missed? -- Jason Hsu <jhsu802701 at jasonhsu.com>

...ounts. What I miss from SLiM is the better-looking login box. The default login box of LightDM is ugly. How do I change the appearance of the login box?

(That said, I skipped the section on automated testing, as Hartl warned that automated testing is the most likely part of his book to become outdated.) There is a heavy emphasis on the "bundle exec rspec spec" tests.

I''m looking for examples of Ruby scripts that are long AND well-written. I have a Ruby script for scraping information on stock ETFs and mutual funds and storing the data in a Postgres database at https://github.com/jhsu802701/bsf-scrape/blob/master/scrape.rb . While I need to make some minor changes to it (like providing external options to choose between the long and short version, as the "Enter blahblahblah within 20 seconds" approach doesn''t work in a cron job), I know I need to make one major...

I''m going through the 4th edition of the book _Agile Web Development in Rails_. One of the exercises involves automatically creating 100 orders. The command to run locally is "rails runner script/load_orders.rb". I have no problems here - it works. What''s the command for running this in the deployed Heroku application? -- You received this message because you
