OK YES! Got it to work. The first thing I did was learn what comment and uncommented lines actually mean. Then I did these steps because there were some differences between the arch linux solutions and debian. sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm sudo groupadd -r autologin sudo gpasswd -a YOURUSERNAME autologin sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf In the lightdm.conf file there is a section called [Seat:*]. I uncommented (activated) these lines: [Seat:*] pam-service=lightdm pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin autologin-user=username autologin-user-timeout=0 autologin-session= What I did to retrieve the session type was echo $DESKTOP_SESSION Overall, not as easy as flipping a switch but it was a good learning experience. I'm not sure if there are any unnecessary steps here but it is working as it should. Thank you, Werner for pointing me in the right direction!

Not working so far. I used this code: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf I found the line #autologin-user= I uncommented the line using ctrl+shift+d added my username directly after the = commented with ctrl+d saved the file and rebooted. No change so far.

Hello I have an Orange pi Prime and I need help getting it to boot directly to the desktop bypassing the login prompt. I have been searching for a solution but the threads I've found are pretty outdated. Is there a way to accomplish this? No LSB modules are available.
