 |

Hi all,
Like many (I imagine) I abandoned display managers after too much messing about for no real gain, and now just log in from tty1 once I boot.
I've searched for and used information that would 'auto' log in i.e. I would not need to keep tying stuff just to boot to the desktop.
I used the following suggestions to get past the password barrier: | Code: | /etc/login.defs
NO_PASSWORD_CONSOLE tty1 |
followed by | Code: | /etc/inittab
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear --autologin <user> 38400 tty1 linux |
Works great, except that now, when I'm using terminal, if I'm required to input a password for anything, I get the following warning message | Code: | ~$
Password:
configuration error - unknown item 'NO_PASSWORD_CONSOLE' (notify administrator)
|
Logging in works as expected but now the above message, which is annoying and intrusive. Please note that in the second code above, the entries --noclear and linux were there by default, I merely added the login stuff further to search results.
Is there any way to suppress it, or should I be using some other method? I accept that the code I'm using came via the Ubuntu website. |
