TTY auto-login broken

TTY auto-login broken

[Christian Miller]

Hello,

this is how I configured my system:

(modify-services %desktop-services
  (delete gdm-service-type)
  (mingetty-service-type config =>
    (mingetty-configuration
      (inherit config)
      (auto-login "cm")
      ;; TODO: Work around to fix "Error in service module"
      (login-pause? #t))))

Without the (login-pause? #t) I would get "Error in service module" as
an error message in my TTY and can't use the system.

There is also someone else with that issue[0]

I asked on the IRC[1] some time ago (somenickname was me in that case)
and nckx had an assumption why this is happening.

Also the cookbook describes something similar and it is apparently not
working anymore either.  I've reported it some time ago.
