I have a problem with autologin at startup in Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 LTS.
I use this server only for listening internet radio so I do not care about security.
I was able to create a bash script to auto start mplayer but can't configure autologin.
I've tried at least 4 solutions (always editing the file /etc/init/tty1.conf
and of course replacing USERNAME with actual user name):
change the line from
exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1
to
exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1 -a USERNAME
change the line from
exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1
to
exec /bin/login -f USERNAME < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2>&1
Install
rungetty
, comment the lineexec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1
and add the line
exec /sbin/rungetty --autologin USERNAME tty1
Install
mingetty
, comment the lineexec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1
and add the line
exec /sbin/mingetty --autologin USERNAME tty1
Nothing helps - I have to input my login and password at startup - any ideas what to do?
