I've got a Raspberry pi 3 with a Retropie installed on it.
I want to be able to boot it directly to the desktop, without having the need to type startx
every time, as I prefer to boot the Retro machine from the Terminal on the desktop whenever I want to play.
I tried to configure it manually in the boot options under the raspi-config
settings, so I chose Desktop Auto-login - desktop GUI, automatically logged in as 'pi' user
, but it changed nothing.
So then I found the file
/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]
and saw that the relevant line was already written as
ExecStart=-/sbin/getty/ --noclear -a root %I $TERM
Important note: at the beginning of the boot the Pixel desktop appears for 3 seconds and then it immediately goes to the CLI.
What am I doing wrong/ what can I do more in order to change it?
