User Accounts

[Dodge Ram]

I want to set up the user login to auto login. I am trying to access the user accounts to accomplish this but I cannot find it anywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks

The best way Ive found to do this is to edit the lighdm config

run

Code Select Expand

sudo medit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

and change

Code Select Expand


#autologin-user=vsido
#autologin-user-timeout=0
##autologin-session=UNIMPLEMENTED

to

Code Select Expand


autologin-user=your user
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=the WM you want

So at the moment mine looks like

Code Select Expand


autologin-user=luke
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=cinnamon

autologin-user=

Code Select Expand

autologin-user=Al
I put my name in and it worked. Thanks
