Hello there,
I am currently building an autoinstall ISO using Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS live server. A blog post by @dbkinghorn has been immensely helpful in this process. However, I have encountered an issue with the autoinstall script I created, specifically with regard to enabling autologin for the new user.
The purpose of this autoinstall is to run docker engine. I am in need of suggestions or assistance to resolve this issue. Below is my 'user-data' configuration:
#cloud-config

I have been working on this problem for several weeks and would greatly appreciate any guidance or help. Thank you.
You probably still have a little more experimenting to do. Here are a couple of things to try;
-
You have the user 'ubuntu' already defined with a password (effectively the install root user'.) You might want to try setting up your auto-login user with at different name. (I'm not sure how this is done with a manual install. Maybe you want to do this in the identity section and not assign a password at all??)
-
If you want to have the user 'ubuntu' as the auto login user then you might have better luck in late-commands using curtin in-target --target to do the config change manually with system commands like usermod etc..
I don't have experience using auto login but I hope I'm giving you good advise on things to try. Best wishes --Don
@shubham-kshetre I had a kinda successful but disgusting method go get autologin working.
In late_commands add this:
# Create a service to run above script on bootup
- |
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /target/etc/systemd/system/setup_autologin.service
[Unit]
Description=Configure autologin for user "tester"
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "sed -i 's/# AutomaticLoginEnable = true/AutomaticLoginEnable = true/' /etc/gdm3/custom.conf && sed -i 's/# AutomaticLogin = user1/AutomaticLogin = tester/' /etc/gdm3/custom.conf && groupadd docker && usermod -aG docker tester && newgrp docker"
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
- curtin in-target --target /target chmod 0644 /etc/systemd/system/setup_autologin.service
- curtin in-target --target /target systemctl enable setup_autologin
Basically create a service that will run prior to the desktop loading. Problem is that you have to delete the service file post login.
Ah!!! Great!!!
Thank you for your kind reply.
I will try with your suggestion and let you know.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you again!!!
