Research direction

Start with lightdm.conf and reproduce the 21.3-to-22 mintupgrade path, comparing the failing X11 autologin behavior with the working Wayland case. Done means identifying the upgrade regression and confirming that X11 autologin persists after reboot without changing the GUI setting.

Description

Hi,
I have successfully upgrade via mintupgrade to latest version.
All is working fine except autologin problem, it was working perfect on previous version.
Each time I restart the computer, it ask me for login password, I don't want this because I'm the only user.
GUI setting is OK and same as before, and lightdm.conf is ok too.
Via new Wayland (experimental), autologin is working ..but I need x11.
I have done a forum thread there, but only response is to revert V 21.3 ... :

I think It's a bug from upgrade process.
How to solve this issue ?

ps: I have fisrt post in wrong section
