It is in my house or in my office. In lightdm this has no apparent effect. # /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf autologin-user=username autologin-user-timeout=0 Odd. Has anyone made autologin work in lightdm? There is also a package named nodm with this description. "... automatically start an X session at system boot ... for devices like smartphones, but can be used on a regular computer ..." After removing *dm and installing nodm, the system still presented a dialogue similar to lightdm. Stock configuration doesn't give the stated effect. Likely an adjustment is needed. Thanks for any ideas, ...
