    Hi - sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf

    mine looks like this

    Code:
    [daemon]
    DefaultSession=xubuntu
    TimedLoginEnable=false
    AutomaticLoginEnable=true
    TimedLogin=hobgoblin
    AutomaticLogin=hobgoblin
    TimedLoginDelay=30
    Please also either edit your image or attach it instead of leaving the large image in the post. Thanks.
