How can I enable autologin on lubuntu 14.10? I tried various method like this LXDE Auto Login but they don't work.

According to the Lubuntu Wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login#For_release_12.04_and_on_.28LightDM.29
you must
For release 12.04 and on (LightDM)
You will need to create an /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf with these contents: (do this as root)
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=<YOUR USER>
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=Lubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
It appears that what you have tried and say does not work is similar but not the same as this solution.

From lubuntu 14.04, you should use this file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/20-lubuntu.conf for the seatdefaults, the syntax is the same.
Turns out he's right. At least for me anyway.– AaronDMar 1, 2016 at 21:33
