I am trying to auto login to Armbian 21.08.2 on an AML-S905X-CC

 

I have found this link on the forum, but I am not following what I need to do to skip the login.

 

forum.armbian.com/topic/16788-auto-user-login/

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Install nodm.

Or just by creating this file https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-firstlogin#L393-L400 and changing $realusername with username you want that its logged in automatically.

I apologize for the late reply, had a family emergency and had to leave town for a few days.

 

Thank you very much for the information. I will give it a try here in just a few minutes.

 

Thanks again,

Pie

I got it working thank you.

 

I also want to autostart a program once the desktop loads. On raspberry pi's used to edit the LXsession autostart. I can launch the program from CMD by just typing in the name foresight. I have never had luck getting to run correctly on boot with crontab for some reason.

 

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks again
