Support configuring autologin

[Benitron]

Hello,

When we want to skip or put back the password when starting the computer, it seems that we have to go to etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and add or erase the line autologin-user=<YOUR USER>

It doesn't seems to have the automatic-login button as it used to. (as shown here, but with ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/51086/how-do-i-enable-auto-login-in-lightdm)

Xubuntu is a really good distribution and I think it is really nice not to have to use the terminal if people don't want to.

But maybe I didn't find the right panel to use this option...

Thanks to every developper !

Support. There should be field or drop-doqn list with users for autologin

[InfoLibre (david-vantyghem)]

Hello,
In a next release, will you show the list of existing users and for each user, add the possibility to configure autologin on/off and delay ?
autologin-user=<username>
autologin-user-timeout=<delay in seconds>
pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin

Specials users like guest and domain users could appears too ?

The automatic-login button is not in MATE (only the no-password checkbox). So, adding the autologin configuration in LightDM GTK+ Greeter would be useful.
