Change what loads on startup/boot?

[manzaiya]

Any progress in this thread for figuring out how to get emulationStation to boot on startup?

If only I could get auto login to work in the terminal then I could just run the program from a .profile script.

There doesn't seem to be an /etc/inittab file on the system so I'm unsure on how to enable auto login. This is the latest xbian install with xbmc service disabled. On a side note, I tried to figure out a way to add emulationstation as a service but never got further than what this thread described.

Well, for auto login this seems to work:

sudo nano /etc/init/tty1.conf

The very last line in this file should start with an exec command. Delete this line and replace it with the following:

exec /bin/login -f xbian < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2>&1
