=== '''Adding the automatic login feature''' ===
 +
* 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.
