Auto login terminal - joehc - 22nd Mar, 2020 04:55 AM

Hello

Can someone help me in guiding me to enable auto login at terminal at startup?

I have a script I would like to run when pressing a key, but the key bindings are only triggered at the terminal aften login.

I cant seem to find anything related to auto login at xbian-config

Thx

Usually Kodi is running in the foreground, so autologin does not make sense in this case.

Anyway, you can to this by editing /etc/init/tty1.conf in following way


Code:
# tty1 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345] and (
            not-container or
            container CONTAINER=lxc or
            container CONTAINER=lxc-libvirt)

stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn
#
# Modifications for autologin of user xbian
#
#exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1
exec /sbin/getty --autologin xbian -8 38400 tty1
