Still a newbie. Using a clean maching, purchased from System 76 with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed. Got it mid-May of 2014.

Key words: Ubuntu 14.04 boot password

When I start my machine, I am taken to the last desktop I was using whether I logged out previously or not. (I switch between Unity and KDE). On that screen, with the system asking me for my password, I can, without entering my password, use my applications. Granted I have this diolog box in my way, but still, I can use my apps. That doesn't seem so safe to me.

I have my system set so that when I "suspend" and come back, I am asked for my password but it's not the desktop. It's a screen where I can choose whatever destop I like. Now that's secure. And that's the screen I want when I boot up. How can I get that?

Thank you,

Kevin

Go to Settings, Users, then you unlock your user. After that you turn off the option to enter automatically in your account. I think that is that, 'cause my Ubuntu is not in English. Hope that it solved your problem.
