I have setup a ubuntu minimal install with lxde no install recommends
desktop.  Here is the command I used install lxde, libre office, startx,
libcurl3 and chrome.

sudo apt-get -y install lxde --no-install-recommends && sudo apt-get -f -y
install libreoffice-kde && sudo apt-get install -y xinit && sudo apt-get -f
-y install libcurl3 && wget
https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb &&
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb

with this to make startx load at login.

sudo cp /etc/skel/.profile ~/
sudo nano ~/.profile
#add to the bottom
#Startx Automatically
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
 . startx
 logout
fi

The question I have is how do I set up auto login from the command line
without having to install any extra software such as lightdm?

I have been searching google with these search terms auto login ubuntu
13.10 command line, automatically auto login ubuntu 13.10 command
line, enable auto login ubuntu 13.10 command line.

This install is for public systems for a community centre to use.  I
understand that having auto login is unsafe but I am trying setup the
systems so that the public can start using the systems without having to
ask the staff to log them in.

The reason I am using the install the way I am is because these are low end
systems and I have tried using ubuntu full desktop install and it was to
much for the systems.

Hopefully that is enough information.
