Hi ldz,

Is this a jetson tx1 specific issue? Have you tried your way with other platform (e.g. desktop)?

Yes, i do it at desktop without problem. So i want to know anyone do it success on tx1?

could you share the detailed steps?

hello ldz,

if your file system have ubuntu desktop, there’s another way to enable auto login without editing configuration files.
system settings->user accounts->click “unlock”->enable “automatic login”

Now i do it but another problem arises .
1、add “greeter-show-manual-login=true” to /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf;
2、change /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf as
autologin-user=root
greeter-session=unity-greeter
user-session=ubuntu
greeter-show-manual-login=true
allow-guest=false
now root account auto login,but when i create wifi ap, its WI-FI Security cannot be modified,when i select Security to WPA &WPA2 Personal cannot be save?

Hi ldz,

Wifi ap security works fine on my TX1, but I use hostapd instead of NetworkManager. Could you try hostapd?
