i just set up Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS on an old Laptop of mine.
Before you ask in terms of security concerns: This is for personal use only, there is no enterprise / productive enviroment involved.
Also good to know before eventually judging: I just searched the web for ~ 2 hours for a solution, didn't find anything helpful. And i am an absolute beginner with Linux.
I managed to get my user automatically logged in via this solution:
- Creating a directory:
sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d
- Create and open file:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf
- Input into the newly created file:
[Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noissue --autologin username %I $TERM Type=idle
So this is working just fine, but there is a text output after successfully logging in automatically:
server login: user (automatic login)
followed by MOTD.
My question is: How can i disable / edit this text (before the MOTD)?
I would like it to not be there.
Also if there is another way to enable automatic login (maybe without even any oputput at standard settings) please let me know, i will be glad to use this instead then.
Thank you in advance! Greetings and best regards!
