LXDE autologin
LXDE autologin
Hi guys! I need help setting up autologin on debian 9 LXDE. Changing lightdm configuration in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ( autologin-user=duschaan, autologin-user-timeout=0) didn't help. Any idea? Thank you

Re: LXDE autologin
Presumably you saw https://wiki.debian.org/LightDM ?
uncomment them
/!\ Note that this has to be in the [?SeatDefaults] section, not the [LightDM] section.

Did you find a solution to this? I am having similar problems.
Re: LXDE autologin
I had same problem but I found that in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file autologin-user and autologin-user-timeout occur twice, then I set it twice. I also set autologin-session = LXDE twice. In addition, I created a group autologin (groupadd -r autologin) and I added my user to this group (gpasswd -a username autologin). Now it works fine.duschaan wrote:Hi guys!

Re: LXDE autologin
Go to the terminal and type:
nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Scroll all the way to the bottom and paste this:
[Seat:*]
pam-service=lightdm
pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin
autologin-user=TYPE-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE
autologin-user-timeout=0
session-wrapper=/etc/X11/Xsession
greeter-session=lightdm-greeter
Save the changes. This works with Debian 9 really good.
