lightdm-set-defaults was deprecated in 1.10. The correct method is to create a config file snippet e.g. /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-autologin.conf or by editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.
The format for the configuration is: [SeatDefaults] autologin-guest=false autologin-user=someuser autologin-user-timeout=10 (set whatever fields are appropriate) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307102 Title: Unable to set autologin Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In 14.04 Xubuntu I am unable to set autologin The /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults --autologin command is now gone it seems ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/1.9.4-0ubuntu1 ) I've tried editing the various .conf files with no success.
