When I installed Lubuntu, I checked the auto-login option. I'd like to turn it off now. I'm not seeing it in the GUI settings anywhere, and I can't find a conf file for it (such as in /etc/sddm/).

Can someone tell me how to turn it off?

Thanks!

In LXQt

Edit the file /etc/sddm.conf

sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf

Look for a section marked [Autologin]

It should appear as

[Autologin]
User=<Some username>
Session=<usually blank>
Relogin=False

Remove the username from the User key, and any session name from the Session key

Save the changes to the file, and reboot!

Source of information: man sddm.conf

In Ubuntu using GDM

Using a GUI, Click the settings icon -> Details -> Users -> User in question

Then uncheck the 'autologin' box

  • Thanks, but I'm not seeing that. I have the LXQt desktop. My users page looks like this: https://lucency.co/ImageShare/?view=bnbwn2lqohb I'm sorry if I'm not explaining or understanding something well. I'm new to Ubuntu. – Jared Mar 11 '19 at 15:10
  • What is under the 'advanced' tab? – Charles Green Mar 11 '19 at 15:21
  • @Jared Updated the answer to account for LXQt / Sddm.... – Charles Green Mar 11 '19 at 15:34
  • The Advanced tab has Login Shell and Home Directory paths. Your answer did the trick, though. Thank you so much! – Jared Mar 11 '19 at 15:40
