I run proprietary AMD Catalyst driver that was downloaded from AMD server, version 13.4. This is my extension to Xubuntu configuration. Manual login works fine. Autologin doesn't work.

Lightdm Package: lightdm: Installed: 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Attempted asking on launchpad first, this is the post: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+question/204213 In summary, when I installed I selected to use autologin and it worked fine, except that it was using en_GB locale instead of en_US. Didn't know how to change locale at first so I just went to Applications>System>Users and Groups and made it ask for a password to login. This allowed me to select locale on login. I've since changed it to automatically use en_US so I tried to turn auto-login back on. I at first just clicked the box to no longer ask for a password and it didn't work. It switched to a nosplash view for about a second and switched back to the greeter. Had to log in as a guest and change it back to asking for a password so that I could log in. This is my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf output: [SeatDefaults] user-session=xubuntu greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter autologin-user=justin autologin-user-timeout=0 Just like http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/ says.
