First of all, I want to say that I'm pretty sure that there is a faster way of doing this, but anyway I will explain the steps I followed to be able to autologin in Elive:
1.I opened the console and wrote #scite /etc/apt/preferences
2.I created the new file and left it like this:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650
Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 600
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 550
3.I added the repositories Unstable and Experimental of Debian (I recommend to look for the right spelling in Google)
# scite /etc/apt/sources.list
### Experimental cl ###
deb htpp://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian/experimental main
deb-src htpp://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian/experimental main
### Unstable cl ###
deb-src htpp://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian/sid main
deb htpp://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian/sid main
4.After "apt-get update", I installed kdm #aptitude install -t experimental kdm
5.I wrote # scite /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc
6.I modified the file including at the end of it these lines:
[X-:0-Core]
AutoLoginAgain=false
AutoLoginDelay=0
AutoLoginEnable=true
AutoLoginLocked=false
AutoLoginUser=”here include the name of your user without the quotation marks”
ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors
7.I wrote #scite /etc/profile
8.I modified the file just adding the line “export XAUTHORITY=/home/Youruser/.Xauthority” (without the quotations) before unmask 022
9.I wrote #scite /etc/sudoers
10.I modified the file like this
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
myuser ALL=(ALL) ALL
11.I rebooted the system and voilà, I had in my Elive the autologin feature.
I do not know if this is correct from a geek point of view because I'm not a nerd and have no idea about computers at all. But what the hell, it just works for me!
