In the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file set the autologin-user variable and it will automatically log in. File /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf snippet: [SeatDefaults] autologin-user=yourusernamehere I had not heard of nodm before. Interesting.

It has subtle behavior and often confuses users. Alternatively you can configure i3 as the default x-window-manager. $ update-alternatives --display x-window-manager # update-alternatives --config x-window-manager Configuring i3 will set it up as the default window manager. If that is the only reason for $HOME/.xsession then that is not needed. Bob
