How to enable autologin on a raspberry pi 3 - raspberry-pi3

Please don't tell me to configure it in raspi-config. I have absolutely no options there to do it. asda sdsdf sdfsadc fsdfasd f fasdf cxwasef casefc asewfxx asfx asef ase cfs x

You may have not updated your system yet, please do. The autologin option should exist.
Googling raspberry pi autologin manually took me to a related questions. You can do that too. The correct configuration file to enter the autologin username may vary depending on what you mean (autologin on CLI or into desktop, what exact raspberry you have, etc.).
It also talks about raspi-config (maybe read it more carefully one more time and update your system beforehand?).

The bottom answer has a suggestion for a configuration file to enter the username. You may find something similar on your system, if that exists.

Security concern about Hubstaff - install a package from a sh file

I was asked recently to install Hubstaff (a famous application for tracking your data, like screenshots, URLs, etc., on your computer and reporting it to your management team) on my Debian machine. After checking their download page (https://app.hubstaff.com/download) I found out that for the Linux version, I have to download a .sh file and run it (so no package manager, not a .deb file) This app tracks almost everything from my machine (https://hubstaff.com/how-tracking-works), but they don't explain how it follows them. Like they can track the URLs I visit (and no matter what browser I use), how do they do that? Are they checking my network packets?
Do you guys think is it safe to do such a thing? E.g., they say they don't track my keyboard, but they can find out if it's used or not (for idle purposes). Well, they might be right about it, but what if somebody hacks them? I feel like if I use this app, I am making my computer public. Please help me learn about it.

How to overwrite X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS from client side using windows?

I am having a problem starting an X2go client session to an Ubuntu work station. Basically, the x2Go-agent does not scale down to fit my client's side screen resolution. Thus, I cannot reach Ubuntu control panels, switch between programs, etc.
I use the newest download of the x2Go windows client, version 4.0.2.0. I use session settings that worked previously, but we have had an update recently. First, I tried playing around with the session screen size, but none of the options gives a reasonable view. I searched for similar issues and found a bug entry that suggests disabling some NX-extension by commenting the line
X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -extension XFIXES"
in etc/x2go/x2goagent.options.
This is not possible for me without appropriate admin rights. Instead, I found out from the changelog that the above option can be overwritten from client-side, but it doesn't say how:
Introduce /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options to allow overriding x2goagent
options. This new configuration file specifies default options that
clients can override.
The man-page of the x2Go client doesn't tell, either. It doesn't seem that there is a command line option to redefine the variable during execution.
Here is my question: Does anyone know how to overwrite the above option from a windows x2go client side?
Thanks for your help!
As far as I know the problem is not fixable from the Windows side. But you can fix the issue by disabling "kcreen" in your KDE where the x2go server is running. See the following citation:
In general, this is not a bug. Using two applications that handle display resolution is not supported

Windows registry key to prevent automatic drivers installation?

I'm looking for a simple method to prevent Windows Update from installing drivers automatically. Exactly these steps:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2500967
Is there any method to do these steps just by modifying registry keys? Or even by doing it with help of a simple bat file?
I've just found an answer. The key I was looking for is located here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching]
"SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000000
To add this values to our registry, we can use that command in our batch file:
REGEDIT /S NameOfOurRegFile.reg
I don't know of a registry key, but why not change the windows update to download, but not install. Then you can review the updates and use right-click-hide to hide the driver updates.
I like to see the driver updates because that lets me know that I might want to go to the vendor site to look at the real driver info and decide if I need it or not. I then only install the driver (from the vendors site) if there are changes I need.
And since I have hidden it in update, I don't get bothered again until a new driver comes out.
Just a thought (vs. hacking your registry.)
One other consideration. In some cases, a registry hack might have some side consequences that confound you late when you can't figure out why something you thought should work, doesn't. Most support options don't consider registry hacks when trying to figure out why something doesn't work...
I can't comment, so here are some things to consider.
What you want to do will possibly look very much like a virus that wants to prevent things from being fixed. So if you do find a way, I strongly encourage you to test it with a number of AV apps - and then register it with them so they don't add it later.
You do have an option to check the version of the drivers in use for given hardware items. Then, if your app sees a new driver, it can at least warn the user that a new driver was installed (and log that fact) and to roll the update back if they have problems.

Issue with slony-I replication on postgres master and slave database

I have two system with OS windows 8 and windows XP. I installed the postgres plus advance server for database replication on both system. I followed this link for whole process.
But there is one issue with me to run the script written in .sk file extension. I have searched on google and stackoverflow but I didnot get any proper solution.
Can any one help me out to resolve this issue. If there is any query, frankly ask.
note:- this question may be duplicate on stackoverflow or any other.
Both are using on LAN and XP has domain admin account and windows 8 has local system admin account.
Typically the .sk files are scripts which are run through slonik. So something like
slonik myscript.sk
This being said, Slony-I is a very complex replication system and you are usually better off to look at streaming replication if your environment allows.

Simulating logging in to Windows without GUI

I am writing an automation the deployes several machines and installs several programs on them.
One of the steps a user would do manually is logging off and on to a windows computer as part of an installation process.
Can someone please point me to relevant links so i can understand how to simulate a logging in process into windows without a gui?
I mean i need to make the machine think someone logged in to it and i am using only powershell.
launching mstsc does not do the trick because i cant overcome the request for certificate (I need an automatic process but i did not find a way to silence the certificate warning)
I searched for a couple of days and could not find what I was looking for.
Thank you for your help!
It's just an idea. Perhaps you can first make the image of the machines with automatic logon , install the software and finally remove the automatic logon ?
This link has details about Automatic Logon
