Dears,

I'm looking for a way to automatic login into LXDE GUI. I do not want to disable window manager but I want to start without a need to login without any login screen - just go directly into LXDE.

Best regards

This is how to do it for a Lubuntu install. If you have installed LXDE over a different system, you may have to modify it.

Create or edit the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Add the following to this file

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=your-username-here
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=Lubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter

    Thanks! In my case I did modify /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf file: "autologin=root". Now I have automatic login, Nov 11, 2016 at 16:26

For Debian, it is:

[Seat:*]
pam-service=lightdm
pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin
autologin-user=TYPE-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE
autologin-user-timeout=0
session-wrapper=/etc/X11/Xsession
greeter-session=lightdm-greeter

(add this to the end of the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file)
