Not exactly sure of what you want. If you want to automatically log in to Lubuntu 16.04 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubun ... LightDM.29 or http://www.htpcbeginner.com/enable-lubuntu-auto-login/

Hi

I did realize exactly that using sddm and adding the (normally always available) /etc/sddm.conf with the adequate parameters, see my other recent postings on this forum!

my actual sddm.conf:

Code: Select all

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=QLubuntu.desktop
User=Jo

[General]
AutoRelogin=true
AutoUser=f
CursorTheme=
HaltCommand=/usr

good luck!

This depends upon who your display manager is. See http://lxlinux/login-pswd.html for recipes for the 3 most common light display managers. The file /etc/X11/default-display-manager should name your display manager. If not, put the following in terminal and click the return key:

Code: Select all

</var/lib/dpkg/status awk '
    /^Package: / {package = $2}
    /^Provides: .*x-display-manager/ {print package}'
