| igly23 | Hi, how can I enable automatic sign in without password. | 19:54 |
| nonpas80 | i looked around without finding either, maybe you can ask #ubuntu also or check ubuntu forum, there might a command line option for that, or actually maybe in lightdm, gonna check it quickly | 19:58 |
| nonpas80 | can't find it. | 19:59 |
| arraybolt3 | igly23: o/ | 20:00 |
| arraybolt3 | igly23: You've already installed Lubuntu, right? | 20:00 |
| igly23 | Yes | 20:00 |
| arraybolt3 | igly23: OK. One moment... | 20:00 |
| arraybolt3 | (Basically there isn't a switch to do this in Lubuntu once you've already installed, but you can just change a config file and it will do what you want.) | 20:01 |
| arraybolt3 | igly23: OK, open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T, then type "sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf". | 20:01 |
| arraybolt3 | igly23: Once that's done, change the file so that it reads: | 20:02 |
| arraybolt3 | [Autologin] | 20:02 |
| arraybolt3 | User=<your username here> | 20:02 |
| arraybolt3 | Session=lubuntu.desktop | 20:02 |
| arraybolt3 | Replace <your username here> with your username - the angle brackets should not be part of the text. | 20:03 |
| arraybolt3 | So if your username is igly23, you'd want it to say User=igly23 | 20:03 |
| igly23 | ok I've changed the config and ill restart to see if it works. | 20:04 |
| arraybolt3 | nonpas80: ^ all the instructions for enabling autologin are above if you're interested. | 20:05 |
| arraybolt3 | igly23: I *think* I may have mis-spelled the "Session=" line - it probably needed to be "Lubuntu.desktop", not "lubuntu.desktop". | 20:07 |
| igly23 | On my computer the session line just said =Lubuntu so i didnt change it and it seems to work after adding the line my username | 20:09 |
| arraybolt3 | Oh, nice! | 20:10 |
| igly23 | Thanks a lot for your help. | 20:10 |
| arraybolt3 | igly23: Glad to help! | 20:11 |
