Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug. I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 For Lubuntu specific support links, please go to https://lubuntu.me/links/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879015 Title: Autologin doesn't work (Lubuntu 18.04) Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I tried everything. 3) I expected a working autologin once I set autologin-user=myusername in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. Also I tried to change default session option. After I set "Do not ask password" in Users and Groups GUI autologin didn't work either. I needed to press "Login" button anyway. I don't know where the problem is. The only way to make autologin work I know is to set "Autologin" option while system installation. I don't want to reinstall to change just one option. Currently I use slim desktop manager. It's simpler and works. I have all possible options in /etc/slim.conf, I just need to uncomment something and edit. No need of reading docs and forums to just know what it can do. I hope someday lightdm will be changed in the same KISS way as slim. 4) For some reason autologin doesn't work. Looks like lightdm just ignores its config files. It either shouldn't ignore these files or should provide a tool for configuring. The GUI tools I found doesn't provide an autologin option.
