Autologin on Artix Linux Open RC

Here's a guide on setting up autologin on Artix Linux with initsystem openrc.

First you want to find out which init-system (service-manager) you use with the command:

rc-status -m

When its openrc go ahead. If not don't.


Configuration

Open the desired tty, e.g., tty1 runlevel file:

nano /etc/runlevels/default/agetty.tty1

In this File insert:

agetty_options="--autologin username -J"

Replace username with your actual username. After rebooting, your user should automatically log in.

Troubleshooting

If autologin doesn't work, check log files and permissions of configuration files.

sudo cat /var/log/messages.log
sudo cat /var/log/syslog.log
sudo cat /var/log/daemon.log
