Autologin problem SOLVED

[robbie427]

I checked the autologin box at insallation but still have to manually login each time. Anyone else having this issue and any known fixes? Wattos r8 64bit. Thanks, Rob.

[BALLOON a.k.a. Fu-sen.]

Please try the procedure:


Open text file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf in root user (administrator).
For example, You execute the command from a terminal.

LXDE/Microwatt:

Code: [Select]

sudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
MATE:

Code: [Select]

sudo pluma /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Or you may open in root user (administrator) from File Manager.


Please find this line. This is in around 80 lines:

Code: [Select]

#autologin-user=
#autologin-user-timeout=0
exclude Sharp (#) of the head of a line.
and include a user name to login behind "autologin-user=".

For example, if a user name is "balloon":

Code: [Select]

autologin-user=balloon
autologin-user-timeout=0
save file and closed window. Please reboot wattOS and confirm it.

In Wattos R8 32bits lxde, i have the same problem.

Installing WattOS autologing I indicated that I wanted, but after installation asked me loging and password.

The problem I've seen in the file lightdm.conf
Commands:

autologin-user = user
autologin-user-timeout = 0

are written, by default, in the section:

[VNCServer]

instead of writing in the section:

[SeatDefaults]

and for that does not work autologin

@juanjuanjo
Excellent point. Te same with my installation! Autologin started to work only by moving lines to the proper section!
I am surprised nobody changed it (installation script) for such a long time.
