So, where do I look for instructions on how to set my login user to me?

It often pays to do a web search, often you will find your answer in minutes rather than hours, days, or never.Enable user list
By default, LightDM is configured so that the user should enter login name and password. Login name is considered sensitive information.
It is possible to provide the user with selection of available user accounts. The most recently used login name will be selected in the list. The user still has to enter password to login. This provides useful compromise between security and convenience for a single-user desktop system.
To enable user list, place the following setting into /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_my.conf:Code: Select all

Many thanks for your timely reply. Perhaps you missed the beginning of my post, where I stated that I had consulted the wiki, and found that the very first suggested command failed. The other thing that dissuaded me from the solution was that there was no existing configuration directory:sunrat wrote:It often pays to do a web search, ...

No, that command just verifies which display manager is being used.geoffkaniuk wrote:Do you want to see the file?
