I have Debian with LXDE. After every reboot i have to type username than password. I stumbled to autologin, but i don't want that, instead i want it to remember just username, as most of Desktop environments do. How to fix it to remember the username?

    There is no LXDE login screen. On login screen check which DM (Display Manager) is running. (or better, there is one, but only on Debian Unstable)

    This is a "Desktop environment". The login is done before loading LXDE, so knowing which X Display Manager are you using, helps on finding how (if it is possible) to change the settings. As I wrote, only very recent LXDE have a own login screen, usually we used other login screens.

found it. uncommenting "greeter-hide-users =false" at /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf fixes it
