Autologin on lubuntu 14.10

Question

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

Did you encrypt your home folder when you installed Ubuntu? If so, autologin is disabled to protect the encrypted home folder. — user68186, Dec 22, 2014 at 20:46

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.

A comment on htpcbeginner.com/enable-lubuntu-auto-login says 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.
