Autologin

[Jesus Eguiluz]

At least for Lubuntu 12.04 and above its use lightdm as display manager 
so you need edit the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf with some similar to:

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=<YOUR USER>
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=Lubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
