How can I Simultaneous login to all the Virtual Terminals?

  • 772

This is a Ubuntu 12.04 Minimal Install.

When I scroll across these 6 terminals using Ctrl+Alt+F1 through
Ctrl+Alt+F6 , I have to independently login each of them; one-by-one.

Is their any way out that I may login to all of these 6 terminals in one go??

auto-login

    You can edit as super user the files named /etc/init/ttyx.conf (where x can be 1 to 6) as follows:

    sudo gedit /etc/init/tty1.conf

    find 

    exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1

    and comment it:

    #exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1

    Write below:

    exec /bin/login -f USERNAME < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2>&1

    where USERNAME is yours.

    If you still want to start GUI, add startx to your bash profile:

    sudo -s
echo "startx" >> $HOME/.bash_profile

    or, if this won't work, open your user’s .bashrc file:

    gedit ~/.bashrc

    Add the following to the end of the file:

    if [ $(tty) == "/dev/tty1" ]; then
startx
fi
