The file you're looking for is:

1. /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/override.conf

Copy code

Then look for this line and edit as you need:

1. ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noissue --autologin orangepi %I $TERM

Copy code

Hi Allen,

Thanks for you answer.

I made this change:

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c 'exec /bin/sleep 10'
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noissue --autologin cury %I $TERM
Type=idle


And after a reboot orangepi user is still logged in:

cury@debkde-opi5:~$ who
cury     tty7         2023-04-29 09:42 (:0)
orangepi ttyFIQ0      2023-04-29 09:42
cury     pts/0        2023-04-29 09:42 (:0)
cury     pts/2        2023-04-29 09:42 (:0)
cury     pts/3        2023-04-29 09:42 (:0)
cury@debkde-opi5:~$

I am running Kde Plasma over a Debian Server install in OPI 5.

Plasma Autologin is activated.

Any idea???

Thanks,

Cury

Hi Allen,

Thanks for you answer.

##EDIT:
First quick-read of your post, I thought your desktop logged in as oprangepi. After a re-read, it seems like the orangepi user is responsible for one or more processes at boot.

Run htop to track process(es) orangepi user is running. This should help track down any scripts that call that user and you can edit as needed or even remove the orangepi user altogether. Keep in mind that you'll have to kill any processes orangepi user is running before removing orangepi as a user.

See below for GUI login.

The last suggestion was to change/disable auto login for CLI.

Do you know what window manager you are using?



For instance, I'll usually use OpenBox / LightDM for a light use and would edit:

1. /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Copy code

and change:

1. autologin-user=orangepi

Copy code

SDDM: /etc/sddm.conf

GDM: /etc/gdm/custom.conf

....and so on.

I am using KDE Plasma and after  SDDM automatic Login I get this situation on console for who cmd:

1. cury@debkde-opi5:/media/cury$ who
   
2. cury     tty7         2023-05-10 00:03 (:0)
   
3. orangepi ttyFIQ0      2023-05-10 07:40
   
4. cury     pts/0        2023-05-10 00:03 (:0)
   
5. cury     pts/2        2023-05-10 00:03 (:0)
   
6. cury@debkde-opi5:/media/cury$

I've made a SDDM setup to autologin as cury. cury its me.

And orangepi is still loged in on  ttyFIQ0 .

You don't want to change any further unless you run the processes you listed under another user. The orangepi user is running audio/media for your system, according to your output.

ttyFIQ0 is responsible for uart i/o- another item you do not want to touch unless you are absolutely sure you know what you're doing or don't care about uart.

Where are orangepi devellopers???

Armbian has been largely responsible for previous OrangePi builds and I assume the same applies here. You can check out their forum if you want to dig deeper.

At least for Debian 12 Bookworm running on Orange Pi 5 Plus: took me hours to find, but this worked for me:
To disable the autologin, you need to edit the override.conf file under /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/.

Open the file in a text editor with root privileges. For example, if you're using nano as your text editor, you would use the following command:

sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/override.conf

Once the file is open, you should see the line that reads:

ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noissue --autologin orangepi %I $TERM

Edit this line to remove the --autologin orangepi option. The line should then read:

ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noissue %I $TERM

Save the changes and exit the text editor. In nano, you can do this by pressing Ctrl+O to save, and Ctrl+X to exit.

Finally, you need to reload the systemd daemon to apply the changes. You can do this with the following command:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

After these steps, the 'orangepi' user should no longer be logged in automatically. The next time you start your system, you should be prompted for a username and password.
