URL of what you've found would be useful.

Assuming that it's not working, we will need to see  that modified file.

BullsEye Mate Auto Login

[K0LNY_Glenn]

Hi,
I did some looking on-line for the answer, because in Mate, I could not find 
the login options, like I've done with Ubuntu.
I want the system to auto login to the desktop.
What I found stated to edit a couple lines in the file:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
So I made the auto login changes with the user name, but it still prompts 
for login.
Does anyone know where to find this in Mate?
I went into control center, I think it's called, but found nothing for this 
there.
Thanks.

I know, I've did it with lightdm.conf.d and it works successfully.

thanks a lot.

I personally advise you to not edit the lightdm.conf file because it 
will create you configuration question at upgrade.


On Hypra, we're creating the file 
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90_my-autologin.conf with the following 
content:

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=YOURUSERNAME

Be careful as said by Raphaël, if you make mistake the graphical user 
interface wouldn't start.


Best regards.

Re: Auto login

Yes, I've wrote it. But it didn't work. My friend played with that and 
he did somw work and it works. He did this:

1. He opened terminal.
He wrote:
sudo caja
he wrote password and pressed backspace twice to go to the / folder. 
After that he went to the ETC folder and found Lightdm folder. In that 
folder he made the folder Lightdm.conf.d and went in that.
It isn't necessary to make this folder in all computers, sometimes the 
folder exists.

In this folder make new file for example
90_jessie-autologin.conf
Open the file.
Write in that
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=Jessie
Save with CTRL S and close everything. Restart and all is OK.

Best regards

Vojta.

Are you sure the line is uncommented, so without # at the beginning?

Is your login step done via a graphical interface?
