Not sure if you got an answer yet... I use XFCE, which uses LightDM. Not sure if Fedora MATE also uses LightDM, but it might. Checking for instruction with a web search it wants me to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf This will work, but it is likely to get stepped on during upgrades (the problem you experienced). The better way is: cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/local.conf [Seat:*] autologin-user=doug Any time there is a whatever.conf.d directory, this is where your local modifications should live. This allows you to run a default foo.conf, which allows an upgrade to see that it is unchanged and thus allows the update to give the new developers version of that conf. Your local updates should still work, assuming they have not totally re-written the conf rules. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
