How to Enable Auto Login by Terminal? [Solved]

General Help
1

Hello, everyone!

I’d like to enable automatic login for a while, but I can’t do it directly to system settings. How can I enable auto login by command line?

Thank you so much,

Jônatas Rocha.

sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Please double check the command and path above. I think there must be a typo in your terminal command. I just checked this on two machines and the file is present on both.

You can also do this with GUI:

sudo -i

nautilus

Navigate to "Other Locations > Computer > /etc > /gdm3 then open custom.conf in Gedit Text Editor.
