dragonlost Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaplus Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Try to add: autologin-user=<your name> to file: /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 This isn't how next does it. /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf doesn't exist. I'm curious how next does it. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Maybe /etc/default/nodm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I should add that's how next does it. Try it with nightly and let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Auto desktop login is by default if a user is created during the first boot. Perhaps that is the problem? Or bad SD card media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 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.

freak Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Seems like with one of the nightly images it booted to a graphical login screen even if you created the user at first boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 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.

freak Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Yeah it works they're just not a sudoer like the auto created user is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
