How to auto login with fedora xfce? I installed fedora 19 Xfce Spin on virtualbox to test it. Installation goes smoothly, everything is fine until at the login screen. I don’t want to type in username and password every time i turn on fedora virtualbox. Here is how to bypass the login screen with auto login.
Open a terminal and enter:
$ su - # nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
The Original (fedora 9) lightdm.conf looks like:
[SeatDefaults] #type=xlocal xserver-command=X -background none #xserver-layout= #xserver-config= #xserver-allow-tcp=false #xdmcp-manager= #xdmcp-port=177 #xdmcp-key= greeter-session=lightdm-greeter #greeter-hide-users=false #greeter-allow-guest=true #greeter-show-manual-login=false #greeter-show-remote-login=true #user-session=default #allow-guest=true #guest-session=UNIMPLEMENTED session-wrapper=/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession #display-setup-script= #greeter-setup-script= #session-setup-script= #session-cleanup-script= #autologin-guest=false # autologin-user= #autologin-user-timeout=0 #autologin-session=UNIMPLEMENTED #exit-on-failure=false
look for # autologin-user= and remove the # autologin-user= username (the user you want to auto login with
sample
autologin-user= namhuy
