Activate Auto login on boot for nightly build

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I usually use the Next version of the image for the tinkerboard. I would like to use the nightly version. But the nightly version does not automatically log on to the user I created at the beginning in contradiction to the other version.

How do I reactivate automatic login in nightly build ? Thanks

Yep...

 

edit /etc/default/nodm

 

Make sure these two lines are set correctly,,,


 

# Set NODM_ENABLED to something different than 'false' to enable nodm
NODM_ENABLED=true

# User to autologin for
NODM_USER=your_user_name

I've seen it not work with certain images.  Not sure why.  I've also accidentally killed the user creation process.  So if we want to do this manually is this the proper method?  It's working for me but I'm having trouble making the user a sudoer.  Running visudo but must be making a mistake somewhere.

Two things. Nightly images are not supported - they are built automatically from latest source. They work or not. We discover such troubles in next couple of days ... Second. If you break the user creation, your desktop will not go up - just read the text at first login/user creation. It's written what will happen.

 

I am not exactly sure, but creating a user manually and adding/enabling /etc/default/nodm + reboot might do.
