Lightdm-manager doesn't auto login

I searched the internet and found this solution. I haven't tried this solution as I need to go to bank. If this works I will not change the status of this post's subject.

Here it is...

http://siripong-computer-tips.blogspot.in/2011/09/enable-lightdm-autologin-debian-wheezy.html

enable lightdm autologin debian wheezy

alter /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to be

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user={YOUR USER NAME}
autologin-user-timeout=0
pam-service=lightdm-autologin


create /etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin (if not exist)
#%PAM-1.0
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale
auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success
auth required pam_permit.so
@include common-account
session required pam_limits.so
@include common-session
@include common-password


thanks

Auto login used to work after I changed a file related to auto login as in this post...

After I installed lidhtdm-manager auto login no longer works and the first post in this topic seems to be the solution...

The above solution doesn't work. Light-dm manager auto login is enabled but it simply doesn't work.

I have KDE, GNOME, LIGHT-DM and SLIM installed. Is this the cause why I couldn't autologin?

It looks like the Lightdm-manager doesn't solve the problem.
Mayby it's better to not install the manager and configure the lightdm configuration file manually.

Somebody asked me to add the manager to the iso but I am not sure that it's a good idea.
I just added the package to our repository.

I uninstalled "slim and slim-theme" and then I uninstalled "lightdm" and then I installed "lightdm" and now it works like a charm. All I have to do is uninstall it and install it... I suppose when there are login managers like kdm, gdm3, slim and lightdm, the last installed login manager that is installed should be lightdm and slim should be uninstalled.
