Auto login

Hi,
I have made LinuxCNC to start at login and now I want to login automatically to my user account at PC startup.
I haven't seen tool in the menu to do that.
How to make it possible ?

You will need to edit the lightdm.conf file

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

nano being a test editor

find the line with autologin-user and uncomment it
then change autologin-user = to your username

I have just tried it and it works for me

When saving you have to press exit then Y to save

The above has to be changed somewhere below the "seat".
Long time, just recall that it has to be there.

Yes Tommy for the avoidance of doubt:

Yup, that should do it. Also the delay has to be active, set to 0.

something is strange
/etc/lightdm.conf seen with Mousepad on the left , with vi (or similar) on the right:

the 2 editors don't display the same thing.
