PulseAudio won't start after autologin with nodm #2

Closed kilbith closed 7 years ago

Title says it all. I'm using Arch + i3.

I always start pulseaudio manually in my .xinitrc script

sunweaver commented 7 years ago

pulseaudio startup is not the job of the display manager, but should be handled by the launched session manager. Thus closing this and tagging as invalid.

We can autologin as well with a agetty service alone, and pulseaudio starts fine.

can you please provide more setup details and track down why
pulseaudio gets started with agetty?

It is well possible, that systemd launched pulseaudio. There has just
been a patch for nodm that adds systemd support.

If you want to test : 

sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/

sudo sh -c "cat >> /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf <<_EOF_
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/usr/bin/agetty --autologin $USER --noclear %I \$TERM
_EOF_"

cat >> ~/.bash_profile <<_EOF_
if [[ -z \$DISPLAY ]] && [[ \$(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startx; fi
_EOF_

Then of course disable nodm before rebooting.
