Autologin after bootup on the genericx86 machine

Autologin after bootup on the genericx86 machine

Hi,

I'm using the fido branch and building a genericx86 machine for the core-image-rt image.
After my image boot up I always need to login as root first, is there a way to login and start my application automatically? I can't find an easy way to do this.

Best
Krystian

On your local.conf, add the following

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks"

I don't think that's going to help, that just ensures the root password is 
blank.

If your application is a background service (or a console/framebuffer 
application) then you probably will want to start it as a service i.e. you'll 
need to create a initscript (if you're using sysvinit) or a systemd service 
file (if using systemd). We have some classes to help install and set these up 
(update-rc.d and systemd respectively - these are covered in the reference 
manual or you can e.g. "git grep 'inherit.*update-rc.d'" to find examples.

On the other hand if your application runs under X then you should probably 
look at meta/recipes-graphics/mini-x-session; you should be able to use it as 
a template for creating a session script to start your app.

Cheers,
Paul
