(I'm wondering whether Raspbian uses Systemd, google's not helping. You could run 'systemctl --version' to check, if it tells you stuff then it's there, if it errors then it's not).<br /><br /> In short, if Raspbian *is* using Systemd (and thus we're trying to autologin in the correct way) then I expect permissions are the problem since it sounds like it should work.<br /><br /> <div class="edit_text">EDITED: 25 Jan 2016 15:50 by X3N0PH0N</div> </div> <div
