Opening page to one user

[jamesofyorkshire]

Hello.

I have a PC at my aged mother's. She uses it to play Solitaire.

When the PC is started, it goes to users - me and her. How can I get it to go straight to her account? I'm not always around to do it for her.

You can make an automatic login to her user

How?

[Moettke]

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

And change the line autologin-user = XXX
I did not check how it works, I did this through the graphical interface. There still had to enter a password

[jamesofyorkshire]

I dont know what all that means.

If you are using cinnamon:

Open the Menu => Administration => login Window => Users tab = > fill out username and password in the Automatic login section, then reboot.
