=== Adding the automatic login feature ===
[ Update(24/08/17): Automatic login feature has been made reproducible in the image builder's repo]
* While the image is building, navigate to the following directory:
~/rpi23-gen-image/images/stretch/build/chroot/etc
and depending on the stage of the build process wait for a folder named 'lightdm' to appear.
* Then open this file with nano/gedit and with root priviledges:
~/rpi23-gen-image/images/stretch/build/chroot/etc/lightdmlightdm.conf.dpkg-new
* Add/uncomment the following lines and configure them as shown below:
autologin-session = sugar
[Seat:*]
#type=xlocal
pam-service=lightdm
pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin
autologin-user=pi #(change this if you have configured a different user)
autologin-password=raspberry #(change this if you have configured a different password)
autologin-user-timeout=0
session-wrapper=/etc/X11/Xsession
greeter-session=lightdm-greeter
* Save the file and wait for the build process to complete.
* Boot into your image with this configuration and autologin should work fine.
