How do I make ttyS2 autologin as root on startup? I don't have LCD, so
it has to be done from terminal. People on Ubuntu forum wouldn't say
anything about root autologin.
You may need something on http://upstart.ubuntu.com/.
You can edit the script files in the folder /etc/init/. If you want
the console to autologin, you may need to creat a new program file
'getty' which support autologin. What you need is to modify(may a
little hard) the code of getty to allow it to autologin.
When you finished this, you need edit ttyS0.conf(not exactly, I did
not have beagleboard or Ubuntu...).
All done, 'getty' will autologin with the name and password you
specified in the source code.
I have a devkit8000 board, which runs 2.6.29 and has angstrom. I
downloaded 'busybox' to compile a modified getty, and it runs well
now. I only filled the user name "root"....
Sorry that I lost the the source code, you can find the information on
Internet.
