Re: Auto-Login with Elogin, Greetd and wlgreet

[guix@tatd.dev]

Thank you for the response.

The method in the Cookbook is for auto-login to a specific TTY. That method still uses mingetty. I would like to use greetd. 

I did found a method in the arch linux wiki to auto-login with greetd config, But guix auto generates the greetd config file. 

I am wondering if I can add on to the generate config file or use a manual config file instead of the auto generated one. 

I am new to the mailing list. If I make a mistake on replying to the mailing list, I apologize. I don't know if I need to simple reply or reply to all.

Thank you.
