Autologin with LXDM?

[Jeff91]

Howdy All,

I was wondering how I can toggle auto-login while using LXDM. I add the line

Code: Select all

[base]
autologin=jeff

to my /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf file but that did not do the trick.

What do I need to do to enable auto login?

EDIT: Per advice I found here for Lubuntu I also added the above line to my /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf and it still does not auto log in for me :-/

I'm using slim which has an /etc/slim.conf for auto logins. Dunno about the built-in stuff.

Hello!

At the beginning of the default.conf file, located in the /etc/lxdm folder, you'll see this:

[base]
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
# autologin=

Change "# autologin=" to "autologin=whateveryourusernameis" and reboot. THAT should get you the result you're looking for.

I had the opposite problem - how to turn that feature off. Changing this value returned me to a normal login.
