Autologin for X

Setting GUI login, in
/etc/systemd/system
the symlink default.target
should point to
/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
instead of multi-user.target

[I think if you've set autologin in the agettty thing it never gets here]

For GUI autologin see /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

about 50% of the way through the file under [Seat:*]
autologin-user=root

in /etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin (if not present you're all set)
under # Allow access without authentication, change
auth      required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success
to
auth      required pam_succeed_if.so user = root quiet_success
[just drop the !]
