[setup] Do not prompt for password on non-secure images #850

Closed LukeShortCloud closed 2 weeks ago

LukeShortCloud commented 2 months ago

On the minimal and performance images (not the secure image), there should not be a prompt for the password. sudo is already configured to be passwordless for those image types.

Arch Linux based systems should probably have a file in this directory called autologin.confwhich can be located here /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf edit it with this line of code 

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin winesap --noclear %I 38400 linux

change the kernel to your liking ^ if there is no directory with those files try creating a directory /etc/systemd/system/serial-getty@ttyS0.service.d/autologin.conf with this content instead

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -o '-p -- \\u' --noclear --autologin root --keep-baud 115200,57600,38400,9600 - $TERM

if it helps maybe edit the /etc/passwd file and set the winesap to be something like this winesap::14871:::::: note i got this this information from the Arch Linux wiki

Thanks for the suggestions and hints! That's for automatic login on the console.

This GitHub Issue was about the first-time setup script prompting for a sudo password. Since sudo does not require a password on our minimal and performance image types, it's not necessary.

However, this brings up a good point that we used to allow autologin when we were using the Light Display Manager (LightDM). We've switched to Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM) which does support autologin but then you lose the ability to select the session (for example, you can no longer switch from KDE Plasma to Steam Deck Game Mode).

an easier way for this if you mean when installed on hard drive you can instead use the calamares installer which i left a custom config for archiso and other arch linux isos. Calamares has a feature where you can select log in automatically without password calamares.tar.gz

if asked i can implement this to my PR

LukeShortCloud commented 2 weeks ago

I can add this feature. It should be easy now that we have the /usr/lib/os-release-winesapos file for reference and it is world readable.

Regarding auto login, it's an option during our first-time setup. The first login requires authentication but does not after that.
