^ autologin from tty?
modify /etc/inittab append --autologin <username>

and i don't know whether emulationstation supports directfb or not... It's doable in RPi, but i don't think that is the case for x86/x86_64.
rice no more.

papilyn, yes it does work with an editing of /etc/inittab but *only* if you are running sysvinit and not systemd as init. systemd does not read /etc/inittab and /etc/fstab AFAIR

you can start an app after login in TTY by editing ~/.bash_profile and adding something like this at the end:

Code: Select all

# if you want X to be started on TTY1 only:
# [[ -z $DISPLAY && $TERM = "linux" && `tty` = "/dev/tty1" ]] && exec startx

#if you want a certain app started on TTY1 only:
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $TERM = "linux" && `tty` = "/dev/tty1" ]] && exec certain-app

# for any other app start on TTY2 etc.:
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $TERM = "linux" && `tty` = "/dev/tty2" ]] && exec any-other-app

@franksinistra , yes from tty i want when i boot the system go straight to the desktop in livecd works out-of-the-box
the code: append --autologin <username> dont work , in my case:

Code: Select all

append --autologin pi
maybe retropie package broke something. i will try to make new install and try this first.
about emulationstation I think the same thing as you maybe its not possible in x86_x64 :( anyway i place a code in autostart and do the job.

thanks for respond.

@machinebacon thank to you too for respond i think im going to make a new install because i have already systemd installed without knowing it (im starting to hate this bastard) .

^ having it installed is not a problem, but having it as *init* makes certain things work different.
