How to enable Lubuntu lightdm dinamic autologin (sorry for my english)

Question

Hi I freshly installed Lubuntu 14.04

I disabled lightdm autostarting by editing /etc/default/grub

Well.. I got some problems

"sudo service lightdm start" is working but startx command always freezes at "Loading extensions GLX
When I turn on computer I have to login console and when I type "sudo service lightdm start" I have to input password again and finally when Lightdm is started I have to login again that's very bothering me

What I want to do is when I login into console it should be possible to login into Xwindows directly with currentuser who logined console linuxubuntu gonny95 is online now Report This Post

How did you disable LightDM by editing Grub's configuration? — Oli, Jul 06 '14 at 16:47
For starters I would suggest undoing that and just overriding the lightdm service to make it manual without disturbing how the boot process works. This is pretty simple so update your post after you've done that. — Oli, Jul 06 '14 at 23:41

I found the solution. Typing rm -rf .*authority in my home folder worked.

What does this command do? I don't like just running rm commands. – Tim Aug 15 '14 at 07:53
Also, does this really need the r flag? And the f flag? – Eliah Kagan Aug 15 '14 at 10:56
