Debian Jessie and autologin
Debian Jessie and autologin
I am trying to set up Debian Jessie to automatically login without a display manager. With the older version of Debian I would edit the file /etc/inittab and add a line 1respawn:/bin/login -f "user account" </dev/tty1>/dev/tty1 2>&1. But the Debian Jessie does not have this file.
Re: Debian Jessie and autologin
With Jessie, Debian has decided to switch to a new default init system called systemd. And this new system doesn't use /etc/inittab. So you have two options to solve your problem:
You can either switch back to the old one (called sysvinit):
This command should also remove systemd-sysv, which makes systemd your init system. After that, there should be a /etc/inittab which you can modify like on older versions of Debian. And after a reboot, sysvinit will be your init system.
Or you can configure systemd to do the automatic login. For that create the file /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf (you probably have to create the directory /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d first) with content
and then reboot your system.
