AutoLogon

[Vova Efcom 0]

Hi, I have the TinkeBoard 3N

I am using the original Asus OS (Debian based GUI)

I need the system to start up without requesting the username and password

How can I do it?

Thanks

hello @Vova Efcom, 

you can edit the lightdm config to enable auto-login

sudo vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

uncomment these two lines and then reboot

autologin-user=linaro
autologin-user-timeout=0

Hi,

I've tried this before, but no luck.

Should I be entering the password somewhere else?

I've attached a screenshot of the lightdm.conf file. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Thanks!

you have edited the wrong lines, the lines that should be uncommented are line 126 & line 127

#guest-session=
#session-wrapper=lightdm-session
#greeter-wrapper=
#guest-wrapper=
#display-setup-script=
#display-stopped-script=
#greeter-setup-script=
#session-setup-script=
#session-cleanup-script=
#autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=linaro
autologin-user-timeout=0
#autologin-in-background=false
