How to Enable Automatic Login in Academix GNU/Linux-2.4
Lightdm Autologin MATE Desktop
When we start the computer, we meet a welcome window (the greeter) where we are asked to enter the username and password in order to login.
Being single user we can remove this step, consequently user and password no more required, by activating automatic logging (autologin).
How to
Open as root in terminal
| ┌─[root@academix2.4]─[~]
└──╼ #nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf |
All you need to do is find the [Seat: *] section the two lines below:
| [Seat: *]
… #autologin-user= #autologin-user-timeout=0 |
that should be as default in lightdm.conf.
Uncomment and type your_username and the line shoud be as follow:
| [Seat: *]
… #autologin-guest=false autologin-user=your_username autologin-user-timeout=0 #autologin-in-background=false #autologin-session= #exit-on-failure=false |
Restart directly in MATE Desktop (no more user and password required).
