Subject: Auto login stopped working
Date: Mon, 04 Nov 2024 04:29:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87msifpqo8.fsf@posteo.net> (raw)
Hi Guix,
A few weeks back the auto-login for my media machine stopped working. I
can still login fine with the user — `htpc`. I've been scratching my
head on what could be the issue. I followed the suggestion in the cookbook:
```
;; From cookbook [0]
;; [0] https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/en/html_node/Auto_002dLogin-to-a-Specific-TTY.html
(define (auto-login-to-tty config tty user)
(if (string=? tty (mingetty-configuration-tty config))
(mingetty-configuration
(inherit config)
(auto-login user))
config))
(modify-services
%plt-base-services
(mingetty-service-type
config => (auto-login-to-tty
config "tty3" "htpc")))
```
Checking the `/var/log/secure` all I see is:
```
Nov 2 13:03:16 localhost login[269]: pam_elogind(login:session): Failed to connect to system bus: No such file or directory
Nov 2 13:03:16 localhost login[269]: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user htpc(uid=1010) by LOGIN(uid=0)
Nov 2 13:03:16 localhost login[269]: Error in service module
```
elogind and dbus-system is running, and it works fine if I manually
login on another tty, tty3 just shows the `Error in service module`
message. Anyone know what could be the issue?
Thanks
