[SOLVED] Devuan XFCE autologin
Hi,
I am trying to get auto login to work in Devuan Buster with XFCE
I tried a lot of solutions on the internet without success...
username: john
My current /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf looks like this:
[Seat:*]
autologin-user=john
autologin-user-timeout=0
and I did this:
groupadd -r autologin
gpasswd -a john autologin
still no success, can anybody help me?

Re: [SOLVED] Devuan XFCE autologin
Perhaps it should say [SeatDefaults] rather than [Seat:*] ?

Re: [SOLVED] Devuan XFCE autologin
Btw, are you sure you are using lightdm and not slim which is the default in Devuan ?
If the latter, you'll rather need to edit /etc/slim.conf to have default_user and auto_login set up.

Thank you for your response, the above solved the problem, and autologin works now!
I didn't know that Devuan used slim instead of lightdm :-)
