Alright, it's been one very hectic journey. Before I read any of the replies after my most recent post (Reply #25), I've restarted again out of frustration. I don't recall doing anything special but... AUTOLOGIN WORKS! However, upon several subsequent restarts, autologin no longer works, and it's back to the same behaviour where I'm sent to the greeter.
@Dudemanguy this probably is a race case.

Yeah probably just a race. It doesn't happen to me though so it's kind of hard to tell where it is although I could guess.

@Hyperspace: Could you try this?
Code: [Select]
# echo "agetty-tty1" > /etc/s6/sv/lightdm-srv/dependencies
# sh /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/s6-rc-db-update-hook

Give it a few reboots and see if that does the trick.

I ran your commands after "sudo su", 1st one didn't have any output, next one told me it has switched database.
Then, I ensured that "meow" is the only autologin-user on lightman.conf and "woof" is commented out to prevent autologin ambiguity.
Lastly, I rebooted immediately. Counting that as the 1st startup, then:

1st to 3rd - No luck
4th - AUTOLOGIN!
5th to 6th - No luck

If I'm interpreting all of your responses correctly about it being a race, it means that it's an S6 init issue and there's some things starting up earlier than others occasionally that messes with autologin? Also, it means /etc/lightdm/current logs are no longer required?

I'll just post the 4th and 5th ones for now, respectively:

I've re-ran your 2 commands again as root, just in case, so I'll try restarting several more times.

Update: After my 6th time above, I rebooted several more times but lost count, should have exceeded 10 times after the 6th. No more random luck with autologin at the moment.

Can you please give a try also to the following?

Code: [Select]
# echo "agetty-tty7" > /etc/s6/sv/lightdm-srv/dependencies
# sh /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/s6-rc-db-update-hook

It seems that is starting to wrong tty.

@linuxer: No, there's no "agetty-tty7" service. That will not work.

That'd be my guess. Could you try to edit /etc/s6/sv/lightdm-srv to just have one line with "early-getty-down"? After that run "sh /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/s6-rc-db-update-hook" and give it a try?

@linuxer: No, there's no "agetty-tty7" service. That will not work.

That'd be my guess. Could you try to edit /etc/s6/sv/lightdm-srv to just have one line with "early-getty-down"? After that run "sh /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/s6-rc-db-update-hook" and give it a try?
ok @Dudemanguy, but I recalled the GDM not starting up, case (which has been resolved) on Runit, lol

@linuxer Can confirm that this doesn't work for me too, 2nd command has S6 throwing an error out.

@Dudemanguy /etc/s6/sv/lightdm-srv is a directory with 4 files: dependencies, producers-for, run and type. Not sure which one you're referring to, but I took an educated guess and chucked the line in "run". It now looks like this:
Code: [Select]
#!/usr/bin/execlineb -P
foreground { install -d -m0711 -olightdm -glightdm /run/lightdm }
fdmove -c 2 1
exec lightdm -d
early-getty-down

I then ran the update hook, and restarted 4 times, no luck with autologin. I also removed it all with only "early-getty-down", but that gave me a fswap error and I'm stuck on the terminal without being able to enter the desktop. Solved that via chroot though, and reverted the lines back.

Is the line supposed to be made the only one (removing the others already present) in another file?

Update: Got some free time, so I decided to modify the other files individually with "early-getty-down" as the sole line, and run the update hook.

dependencies - No luck with autologin after 2 reboots, still sent to greeter
producer-for and type - Error from S6 when I wanted to run the update hook command

Am I misunderstanding something?

I meant for you to edit the dependencies (/etc/s6/sv/lightdm-srv/dependencies) file. Sorry that wasn't clear. And actually I told you wrong. The dependencies file should be two lines:

Code: [Select]
elogind
early-getty-down

No worries, I should thank all of you instead for putting up with my persistence of getting autologin working on S6+LightDM!

I edited /etc/s6/sv/lightdm-srv/dependencies with elogind and early-getty-down. Then, I ran the update hook.
Restarted several times, but no luck.

I then removed the newly created user "woof" (leaving only 1 user meow) and re-ran the update hook just to be extra sure.
Restarted several times again, but no luck.

Just as I was about to give up and post here, I got a SUCCESSFUL AUTOLOGIN!

Not sure if it helps, but I've noticed that across these 5 logs within this post, there is a key difference in the following steps where the earliest case of drift occurs:
Autologin happens:

Losing just 0.01s between the 2 steps, causes commands in the future to get delayed by hugely differing amounts, and is the difference between getting autologged in or not. Of course , lightdm logs only have a resolution of 10ms, so no way to tell if this is actually the case without finer temporal steps. But looking at and before those lines might be of use.

This sure helps me appreciate the elegance and precision involved in something as fundamental as system initialization!
I've also been thinking: If I'm autologging in all the time, would it be possible to set it up without a display manager?

Yeah probably just a race. It doesn't happen to me though so it's kind of hard to tell where it is although I could guess.
@Hyperspace: Could you try this?
Code: [Select]
# echo "agetty-tty1" > /etc/s6/sv/lightdm-srv/dependencies
# sh /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/s6-rc-db-update-hook
Give it a few reboots and see if that does the trick.
Not on s6 either, but have a look at the startup services you've got and put them one-by-one in the lightdm's dependencies. Eventually you'll hit the one it needs. Most likely targets: accounts-daemon, elogind, dbus.

Sad to say I'm out of ideas out this point.

Those *should* all be satisfied. Well I guess I can't guarantee accounts-daemon is but that should be handled by lightdm normally.

You can autologin into the tty. Edit /etc/s6/sv/agetty-tty1/conf and put in your username.

Fret not, it is indeed difficult to diagnose such race issues. Imagine all the possible permutations of services you need to try, I'd throw my arms up too.

In fact, since I never needed a DM, being the sole user, I'll try the DM-free tty autologin method instead. No need for a package if you don't need it, even if you've got a supercomputer!
