1. Check if the autologin group exists: cat /etc/group | grep autologin
2. Create autologin group (if not already present): sudo groupadd -r autologin
3. Add user to autologin group: sudo gpasswd -a (USER) autologin
4. Open the LightDM config file: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
5. Find the "autologin-user=" line and remove it or comment it out with "#" at the beginning
6. Save and close the file

Note: Be careful when using auto-login as it can be a security risk on shared computers. Always make sure your system is protected against unauthorized access.
