Hi Misko,

No problem... It was off the top of my head...
Also I remember Lite Cleaner includes an option now to remove Kernels

Best Wishes for the Holidays

Thank you very much Misko for solving this problem... Got a bit tired of signing in to a computer that only I use and stays at home most of the time

Yes you should have this file in order to use auto login.
Create it with:

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Paste this in leafpad.

Code:

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=username
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=lightdm-autologin
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit-greeter
user-session=xfce

You just need to change this line autologin-user=username
Change username to the user name you whish to use to auto login.
This command prtints your current user name:

Code:

echo $USER

For example: If the output of this command is wirezfree

Code:

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=wirezfree
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=lightdm-autologin
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit-greeter
user-session=xfce

Thank you both of you, for posting the issue and the answer. I had exactly the same oriblem and missing folder (out of fresh install) and Misko's instructions did the job.

Kind regards,
Ioanna

I know this post is old but I feel this should be stickied for those with auto login problems and need an easy fix.

I have today for the first time installed Linux Lite 2.8 64Bit Final, when I start the computer it logged´s me in automatically.
I do not want to get logged in automatically.

I clicked in the Menu/System/Login Settings/Disable Autologin and got this error message: "Disable Autologin has not been applied"

I also clicked in the Menu/System/Login Settings/Enable Autologin and got this error message: "Enable Autologin has not been applied"

This is not a final version.
