 As said autologin does not work on startup. The configuration file has been created by systemsettings5.

I have also tried it with lightdm and gdm, but nope, no autologin.

Unfortunately I can not post lightdm.log but it says that the posted configuration file is read last.

Software error:

Malformed multipart POST: data truncated

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (root@localhost), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

I can't reproduce the issue with lightdm + xfce. Autologin enabled via drakautologin works as expected.

That has helped; thanks. There was no default session selected. I wonder how to set the default session with configuration files.

IIRC it's xsession filename from /usr/share/xsessions/ without .desktop extension.
