Updated by Daniel Curtis over 8 years ago

This is a simple guide for automatically logging as a user with an XFCE session on Debian. 

 * Edit the lightdm config file: 
 <pre> 
 sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf 
 </pre> 
 #* 

 * Uncomment these two lines and replace bob with your username: 
 <pre> 
 autologin-user=bob 
 autologin-user-timeout=0 
 </pre> 

 * Reconfigure the lightdm package so that changes are taken into effect: 
 <pre> 
 sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm 
 </pre>
