Hello,

is it possible for a guest user to auto login?
I tried with

Code: Select all

autologin-guest=true
in lxdm.conf, but it doesn't work.

Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thank you

Welcome to the LXDE forum.
According to
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2094316
The settings for that go in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Code: Select all

autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=omgomgwtfbbq
autologin-user-timeout=0
Not sure why you would want a guest account to auto log-in though.

Hi,

thank you for your prompt reply.
On my installation, Lubuntu 14.04, the right file to edit is

Code: Select all

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/20-lubuntu.conf

Well, that's a kind of kiosk access where users should not interact with OS login.
Thank you
