Package: live-config
Version: 3.0.23-1
Severity: normal

TTY autologin in live-config (sysvinit script) rewrites inittab to use /bin/login -f username <ttyX >ttyX 2>&1 instead of getty, however this breaks some programs in the login shell (such as screen or tmux when launched by login shell bash) which require a proper terminal (TTY or Pseudo-terminal/pts).  This is because of the thing getty does is properly open the terminal, which login expects to already have been done.

Using default debian getty it is possible to use getty -a <username> which actually properly initializes the terminal.  mingetty I believe uses --autologin so there are probably differences between gettys.

Hi Daniel,

given that we're using systemd by default since a while and you were not
able to send a patch within a year, I'm closing the bug for now.

Please reopen if you found the patch, we're still interested to apply it
once you have it.

Thanks,
Daniel
