How can I have Kubuntu automatically log me in to my account?

Asked by Clinton

I am the only user on my machine and I would like Kubuntu to just boot to my desktop rather than asking me my password. All help gratefully appreciated.

Hello..

It is possible to login a user automatically when the computer boots. This is not recommended for most computers, as it is not secure and may allow other users access to your information.

K-Menu->System Settings(or) System Administration->Login Manager

Click on the Administrator Mode... and enter your user password to gain administrator privileges.

Select the Convenience tab. Check the Enable Autologin and select the user to autologin from the drop down menu and select an appropriate time delay.

Hope it helps
