Title:
Autologin doesn't work (Lubuntu 18.04)
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
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.
(lightdm-autologin-greeter package doesn't help (I've edited
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/lightdm-autologin-greeter.conf properly),
lightdm package doesn't have /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file)
