I am setting up some old laptops with Ubuntu 14.04 for students in kindergarten through 3rd grade. I want to have them boot automatically into Ubuntu with a username of egpl I do NOT want to require a password as many cannot type at this point. So I have set up a Standard User - Username egpl - Autologin set to yes and password is NONE
Unfortunately, Ubuntu will sometimes stop at the login screen and ask for a password for egpl but then when I hit enter it says the password is incorrect. Most of the answers I have seen about plymouth, etc are for version 12.04 and fail when I attempt them. Please help!
