enable auto login doesnt work reply 2 - stevef - 02-16-2022
Enabling auto login using the GUI method I used changed the file
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
and put my user name on the line 'autologin-user='
Errors in this file if manually edited can cause lock out.

I just noticed - if you are on version 3.8, you need to upgrade as this is not supported any longer.
Advice given relates to current version - sorry.

OK, I know what to change to make it work, but I dont' know WHY...
Yesterday I put a new line in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf to activate the new module "nvidia.conf". This is new module and it only enables AGP 4x on my GeForce 6600GT GPU.
From that time auto login stopped working. I deleted the "nvidia.conf" module from /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf so no module is loaded in this file anymore (the nvidia.conf was the only module to load here) and now auto login works again.
Conclusion: activating any module in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf interferes witch auto login function.
I dont know why.
Maybe someone can figure it out? Now I have to chose to have AGP 4x working or Auto Login working.
