auto login in mx-14.4 kde

[uncle mark]

I'm setting up a new user with MX-14.4 with KDE on an older Dell desktop.

During the install, I chose NOT to set up auto login. I now want to change that, and can't for the life of me see where that option can be set. It's not in the normal place in KDE, presumably since kdm isn't installed/used, but I'm not smart enough with Xfce to figure out where it can be set in the native Xfce login manager.

Thanks in advance.

(BTW, this guy is going to flat out love this when he gets it back.)

Do not know about KDE on MX, but on M-12 it is under System Settings, System Administration, Login Screen. Maybe it will help till someone who knows can post.

If you're using MX's default lightdm as the desktop manager, you'll probably need to edit the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file as root.

See here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li ... _autologin

Ignore the pam references in the Arch wiki (I have no idea what that is). Just go to [Seat Defaults] in the conf file, and uncomment the line that says

#autologin-user=YOURUSERNAME

I'm not smart enough with Xfce to figure out where it can be set in the native Xfce login manager.

But you are definitely smart enough to look in the Users Manual:

Or to use Ctrl-F "autologin" to find it if necessary...
