I am attempting to create a web server with Ubuntu Mate 16.04LTS on my Odroid C2. I have tried configuring Ubuntu similar to this question Enable/Disable Passwordless Login/Autologin Via GUI/Command Line. However, while there is no longer a password prompt, I still am required to click the "login" button to login despite the absence of a password. How can I make it enter the desktop without any user intervention?

My rationale with this request is to eliminate the need for a keyboard/mouse. Since it is a single board computer, eliminating all peripherals would simplify things.

Thank you.

    You should be able to get everything you need for a webserver to start on system startup without every having to login.

  • Thank you. I'll find out if Apache will start without having to login.

It seems Apache, and other web server platforms, automatically start with the computer without logging in. Configuring automatic login is unnecessary for this situation.
