Just to check, could you post the Ignition config you're using?
The only thing that I can think of is that it’s somehow not passing the option for the systemd dropin to autologin the ‘core’ user.
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
only affects ttyS0
, the first serial port, but your screenshot appears to be from the graphical console. To enable autologin on the first graphical virtual console, you'll want getty@tty1.service
instead.
Gotcha. So I would need to change it to something like this, right?
That did it! Thanks very much, good sir!
I was trying to follow the tutorial for enabling the autologin function on a fresh VirtualBox VM. My Ignition file looks exactly the same as what is specified in the tutorial. But, when the VM boots up, it does not autologin as intended, and instead stays at a login prompt. I am doing this from a Macbook Pro running Monterey. If this is a simple fix, I apologize.
Any updates to the documentation to clarify or help my issue would be appreciated. Thanks for all you do!
