I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Your setup is almost identical

Ah, I see your autologin-* lines are under [SeatDefaults] and mine are above. I fixed that and it's working now.

Hello,

I've been trying to get autologin working in LightDM on my mediacenter
without success.  I believe I've copied all the instructions in the wiki
page, and I'm not seeing where the problem is.

mediacenter% cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | grep -v "^#"
[LightDM]
minimum-vt=1
run-directory=/run/lightdm

autologin-user=family
autologin-user-timeout=0

autologin

mediacenter% journalctl -b -u lightdm --no-pager

session opened for user lightdm by (uid=0)
Jun 19 22:16:25 mediacenter lightdm[723]: pam_unix(lightdm:session):
session opened for user family by (uid=0)

# the last line was my manual login after waiting several minutes.

Is there anything else I should be checking, or any caveats anyone is
aware of?

Thanks!
