Hi Team,

After logging into my machine, I see the error message: "Id: 'weston': no such user". However, my board doesn't have display support. I want to disable or fix this "no such user" error. Can anybody help me with this?

How you tried creating a weston user in the short term?

As a first step I would check where the error is coming from: check 
systemd/init scripts/units starting upon login, /etc/local.d folder, 
.bashrc, and other usual suspects.

Once you have it, check which package/recipe provides that script (e.g. 
"opkg search $FILE_PATH" or "dpkg -S $FILE_PATH" or whatever command 
your pkg mgr is using).

Once you have the package/recipe, either remove it from the image if you 
don't need it, or check in the recipe how to remove the offending commands.

How to remove a package from an image? Remove the package name from the 
IMAGE_INSTALL variable, either by deleting it explicitly, or by adding 
something like 'IMAGE_INSTALL:remove = " $PACKAGE_NAME "' to your image 
recipe or local.conf (or your other, favorite relevant conf file)

Hi Sarvari,

IMAGE_INSTALL:remove = "weston weston-init"
PACKAGECONFIG:remove:weston = "init"

I did it even though I see same id: weston no such user"

Thanks & Regards,

What's the name/path of the script that's emitting these errors? Are you 
sure that it is provided by weston/weston-init packages?

Hi Sarvari,

My intention if we disable weston we won't see this error.becuase I don't
need display.

Could you please help me with this. Actually I am not clear about my end.

Thanks & Regards,
Sateesh

Usually (unless someone did some extra magic with the image recipe) 
weston can be removed by ensuring that "weston" is not in the 
IMAGE_FEATURES variable, and "wayland" is not in DISTRO_FEATURES.

Since your system is complaining about missing weston user, it looks 
like that you don't have weston installed (You can also verify that by 
listing all the installed packages in your system, just to make sure.)

It just seems that you just still have something else that's expecting 
weston to be installed for some reason, and complaining about it. That's 
why it would be interesting to see what scripts are executed upon login, 
and from them, which one is looking for weston user.
