Enable Lubuntu 19.04 auto-login after installation

  • 772

There is a guide here to disable auto-login after installation Lubuntu 19.04, but I couldn't find a way to enable it.

The only information about how to enable/disable it is as follows, but there is no details how to re-enable it.

If you have autologin enabled and want to disable autologin open the file /etc/sddm.conf as root. To do this run

lxqt-sudo featherpad

and open /etc/sddm.conf. Then to disable autologin remove the entire line [autologin].

Existing /etc/sddm.conf config

user@linux:~$ cat -n /etc/sddm.conf
     1  [Autologin]
     2  Session=Lubuntu
     3  
user@linux:~$
lubuntu login auto-login sddm

  1. In Lubuntu 19.04:
    Add a line under the [Autologin] section with User=<your user account name>

    x:y~# more /etc/sddm.conf

    [Autologin]

    User=<your user account name>

    Session=Lubuntu
