Ubuntu 18.04 and higher

On systems built by Exacq with Ubuntu version 18.04 and higher, the ability to use the operating system to configure automatic logins has been removed as a security measure.

You may, however, utilize the Exacq Kiosk User software to create kiosk user accounts and select whether or not a kiosk user account will automatically login.
