====== Automatic Login in Xubuntu ======

===== Enable Automatic Login =====

To configure Xubuntu to automatically log in the user "username" at startup:

==== Method 1: Terminal Configuration (Recommended) ====

Create the LightDM configuration directory if it doesn't exist:
<code sh>
sudo mkdir -p /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/
</code>

Create a configuration file for auto-login:
<code sh>
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/12-autologin.conf
</code>

Add the following lines to the file:
<code>
[Seat:*]
autologin-user=username
autologin-session=xubuntu
</code>

Save the file (Ctrl+O, then Enter) and exit (Ctrl+X)

Restart the system to apply changes:
sudo reboot

==== Method 2: GUI Method (Partial Solution) ====

This method disables password requirement but may still require clicking the login button:

Open Settings Manager
Navigate to "Users and Groups"
Click "Change" next to "Password"
Check "Don't ask for password on login"
Enter your password to confirm changes

===== Disable Automatic Login =====

To revert to the standard login screen:

</code>

</code>

Check LightDM status:
<code>
systemctl status lightdm
</code>
