Hello,

I've been trying to get autologin working in LightDM on my mediacenter without success. I believe I've copied all the instructions in the wiki page, and I'm not seeing where the problem is.

mediacenter% cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | grep -v "^#" [LightDM] minimum-vt=1 run-directory=/run/lightdm

autologin-user=family autologin-user-timeout=0 [SeatDefaults] session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession pam-service=lightdm-autologin

[XDMCPServer]

[VNCServer] #End of file

mediacenter% groups adm disk wheel games video audio optical floppy storage power users family autologin

mediacenter% journalctl -b -u lightdm --no-pager -- Logs begin at Mon 2012-10-22 16:11:18 EDT, end at Thu 2014-06-19 22:24:36 EDT. -- Jun 19 22:12:29 mediacenter systemd[1]: Started Light Display Manager. Jun 19 22:12:36 mediacenter lightdm[699]: pam_unix(lightdm-greeter:session): session opened for user lightdm by (uid=0) Jun 19 22:16:25 mediacenter lightdm[723]: pam_unix(lightdm:session): session opened for user family by (uid=0)

# the last line was my manual login after waiting several minutes.

Is there anything else I should be checking, or any caveats anyone is aware of?

Thanks!

You don't need a DM to automatically start X.

Does a media center actually need a graphical login manager? No, but I've found it simpler to use a light DM (lxdm and now lightdm)

Back before systemd I use to ck-launch-session dbus-launch etc. etc. I run an openbox session which autostarts xbmc so that I can launch other programs (games, web browsers, ripping tools) from it.
