Remove auto login text at boot

Riverstorm

@mancity said in Remove auto login text at boot:

Well when it shows, it lingers for about 2 seconds, but using my Pi 3, I think the issue is solved .

Ok, great, so the Pi 3 is working properly it's just the B+ then that was giving you issues?

@mancity For me, this question also remained topical, and I have found a solution.
you need to open raspi-config, choose "boot option", select the second item "wait for network at boot", and click "No".
thus, there is no more text.

Running this script has made the boot completely silent for me.

@namannik check my updated post, Stretch is quite different and requires some alterations, as there have been depreciations...

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16732/silence-and-appliance-ify-your-retropie-installation-i-e-make-it-startup-and-shutdown-like-a-console-updated-for-rpie-v4-4-stretch

using this line: ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --skip-login --noclear --noissue --login-options "-f pi" %I $TERM

the --skip-login and --login-options "-f pi" had to be removed as it would get stuck at a login prompt and reboot or boot to a black screen right before ES loaded, and you couldnt get ES to load...
