[snip] How to do an autologin? In a DE independent way? http://manpages.debian.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=autologin&apropos=1 gave no relevant links. A Google search gave only decade old or DE related links. I currently use Mate, but exploring other desktops(avoiding Gnome 3!!!;}. I'd like something similar to autoexec.bat from DOS/CPM days.
I received two suggestions, neither suitable:1. nodm was recommended by the ??? who has publicly stated that he ignores
how I phrase my questions.
2. runt was also suggested. I chased down a series of links
but didn't see
how to apply it to my preferences.
Prior to my post I had done a web search for "autologin". I did
another with [I assume] slightly different criteria. I suspect
"DE independence" may not be achievable.
