Hey guix family!
The cookbook decribes a method of auto login to tty. I have noticed that since the latest shepherd upgrade (that's my best guess as to when the error occured), I have been unable to auto login to any tty as the cookbook describes. I have created a minimal guix system vm, to test the auto-login to tty. I have set up ttys 2 - 4 to auto login my user joshua, but when I boot the vm only tty1 is auto logged in. The other tty's are not logged in. Is auto login supposed to be restricted to one partiular tty? Thanks, Joshua P.S. Here is the test vm. #+BEGIN_SRC shell :dir ~/prog/gnu/guix/guix-config :results verbatim :exports both cat bare-bones-with-autologin.scm #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: #+begin_example ;; Copyright © 2021, 2022 Joshua Branson <jbra...@dismail.de> (use-modules (gnu)) (use-service-modules networking ssh) (use-package-modules ssh) (define (auto-login-to-tty config tty user) (if (string=? tty (mingetty-configuration-tty config)) (mingetty-configuration (inherit config) (auto-login user)) config)) ;; add an autologin to tty for a tty 2 - 4. ;; When you run this vm, only one will be auto-logged in.
