In an earlier version of my work autologin script I entered into / Etc/event.d/tty1 exec / sbin / getty-n-l / usr / sbin / autologin 38400 tty1 then run startx and everything running as it should ... if someone pressed the ctrl + alt + backspace and restarted Xorg The new versions use only possibility I can think of: / Etc/init/tty2.conf exec / sbin / getty-n-l / usr / bin / startx 38400 tty2 The disadvantage is that they nee (HowTos)

Hello,

I want to configure a kiosk pc with opera in kiosk mode.

so I installed Ubuntu 10.12 minimal with

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xinit sudo apt-get install rungetty

tty1.conf: exec /sbin/rungetty –autologin username tty1 .bash_profile: startx .xinitrc: exec opera --k

everything work well, after booting opera appears in kiosk mode

the problem is, that I found no way to set pow

I found that, in /etc/inittab, this modification (-a username) for the user u disables the login/password check for all tty:s:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty2 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty3 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty4 5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty5 6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty6

That would be great fo

I'm trying to set up an Ubuntu 12.04 machine as a kiosk and I would like it, on boot, to automatically log in as my kiosk user "kiosk", and start the appropriate display manager, in this case blackbox.

I have configured /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf as in this question and have an appropriate /usr/share/xsessions/blackbox.desktop to launch blackbox.

I managed to get initial autologin by using the db

ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty2.serviceRepeat this for remaining vts - change @tty2 to @tty3 an so on.

Inittab configuration 1 year 7 weeks ago

I am installing BusyBox on a device that does not have keyboard or serial connection, so I log into the system with SSH. I am in doubt about what to put in the inittab file.
