How to : Auto login without entering password in Ubuntu linux !


With Ubuntu linux getting famous day by day and an estimated 20 million active users according to ubuntu.com the amount of tricks, tweaks and hacks for this linux distro is on the  rise and hence i thought of including this article today.

If we observe (during installation from live media like cd or usb stick) there is option while we enter credentials for autologin (we need to check that option). Now in case if the user fails to do this and in future due to some reasons want to automate the login process then this tutorial would be helpful.

o get started, press Ctrl – Alt – T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the commands below to open lightdm configuration file.

sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Just edit the lines below and hit Save, that's it you're done. Make sure the right username is selected if there are multiple users select the appropriate one.
