Autologin (change to)

[NikTh]

I think you can use the "old fashion" way, but you have to create the
lightdm.conf file which is not exist anymore.

gksudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

should (now) open an empty file. There you can add

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=USERNAME
autologin-user-timeout=0

where USERNAME replace it with yours.

Save the file and restart lightdm.
