Auto login error - Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled ...

Wed Dec 31, 2014 5:38 pm

Hi all,

I just followed this exactly - http://elinux.org/RPi_Debian_Auto_Login

So that my Pi would auto login, but im getting the error - Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes - when I reboot?

How do I fix this please? I can create another image fine, but need the Pi to auto-login so need help on that.

I have the latest NOOBS Raspian image installed and have checked several tutorials on auto-login and they all say the same thing, but dont work for me?

Start with a fresh NOOBS/Raspbian.
Once that's running use sudo raspi-config to select auto login as pi to the desktop.
