</div>ok, so I figured out the system error issue and got that working, but<br>
now with the wiki method the user logs in but instead of following<br>
what is in the .xsession file with mythfrontend running, the standard<br>
unity2d interface comes up.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think it will default to the last session logged in. Try to login with the session you want selected. Then the next autologin it should start that selected session. You might want to play with the autologin-session option in the lightdm.conf file.</div>
