disable automatic logon [solved]

Hello forum!
I can not find anywhere to set the automatic login.
There are several users, one of them should be logged on automatically.
Many Thanks

On the welcome screen there is an option to set (or unset) automatic login, if you have disabled showing the welcome screen simply right click the desktop and select Run Command then start typing welcome and you should see welcome-screen.exu in the drop down menu, select it and click run and it will appear for you. Now select Set Autologin and you will be given the option to either Enable Autologin or Revert to defaults (turn off Autologin).

There is also a commandline tool 'ctrl-autologin' available, run for help:
$ sudo ctrl-autologin --help

please read Q4OS documentation https://www.q4os.org/dqa007.html#tips.4

Re: disable automatic logon [solved]

Hello, Q4OS Team! Thanks for making this awesome operating system. To set autologin for my only user, I did what you suggested on the welcome window but it doesnt work. Before the lightdm there is no entering password on the console allright but it still asks me to enter username and password on the graphical login screen. Is there any way to bypass that screen as well? I wanna be able to log into Kodi as a desktop environment right after the startup. Thanks again in advance for providing the system and for your answer. This is the fastest linux distribution I`ve ever seen.

The Q4OS autologin feature only works for TDM display manager, so you need to switch from LightDM to TDM in terminal:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
select tdm as default display manager and reboot.

Thanks.  Don't think I would have found that without some help.
