Hi all,
I'm trying to get lightdm to autologin on LMDE2, but i'm not being able to get it to work.
I've followed this procedure: (I know it's for Wheezy, not for Jesse on which LMDE2 is based)
http://siripong-computer-tips.blogspot. ... heezy.html
But it is not working.
Here's my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf: (with the commented lines removed for a clearer reading)
[LightDM]
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user={bruno}
autologin-user-timeout=0
pam-service=lightdm-autologin
[XDMCPServer]
[VNCServer]
Does anyone know if I need to add anything to this or any other file?
Any help, please? Thanks!

Just yesterday I had to fix autologin on a system running MX-14. I had installed with one user set to autologin, then wound up deleting that user and couldn't log anybody in. To fix it, all I had to do was change the old autologin user to the desired new autologin user. Just don't put the name in curly braces and it should work fine.

Yes, you were both right. It's working now!
Caught by the curly braces...
One more rounded edge! Debian for the win
Thank you both so much, Zerozero and Jimallyn!
