Disable password prompt upon startup in Ubuntu Server
Currently, each time I restart my Ubuntu Server, it's prompting for a login password. How do I disable this feature so that I when I restart my Ubuntu server, it doesn't require me to enter credentials?
Version: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Is not a secure procedure and you are not going to obtain anything with it (the processes are started before login), but well, these are the steps:
To enable automatic login in Ubuntu server we need to edit the tty1 configuration file. To open this file up in nano use the following command:
sudo nano /etc/init/tty1.confThe very last line in this file should start with an exec command. Delete this line and replace it with the following:
exec /bin/login -f USERNAME < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2>&1Note that you need to change USERNAME to the username of the user that you want to be automatically logged in. Once you reboot your system you should be automatically logged in.
