Fedora 19 XBMC Autologin in XFCE

  • Create user xbmc and set password
    useradd -g media xbmc
    passwd xbmc 
    
  • log on as xbmc, choose XBMC as session instead of Xfce session
  • modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, I added the following into section [LightDM]
    autologin-user=xbmc
    autologin-session=XBMC
    
    and into section [SeatDefaults].
    greeter-show-manual-login=false
    autologin-user=xbmc
    autologin-session=XBMC
    
    Not sure if I need to repeat user/session in both sections, but it works.
  • It seems that you have to give xbmc a password, otherwise autologin doesn't work.
