[HOT TIP] How to autologin with lightdm

[Member mikey777]

When you’ve set up an antixcore install, the desktop manager will present you
with a login screen when booting-up. If you have lightdm as your desktop manager,
but wish to ‘autologin’, open the terminal and type:

sudo gedit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf

Then add these lines:

autologin-user=[your username]
autologin-user-timeout=0

Save & exit. Now autologin is enabled !

good tip. even better is to create another file that won’t get nuked if lightdm updates. or do the autologin from /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, which will at least ask you if there is a conflict with an update.

Many thanks for the feedback, which will be helpful for others.
I’ll therefore add these two lines of code to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf as well.

Many thanks Koo for the Debian lightdm link.
I’ve bookmarked this for future reference …
