I've just installed the 0508 version of Debian Jenny with Mate from the Pine64 download site and want to change the logon procedure so that it boots to the desktop without needing my input. I have x11vnc installed but I can't run completely headless since I need to use the USB keyboard to log on before the system finishes booting and brings up X11VNC.
I thought it'd be a simple thing to do, but there's no entry in any desktop menu I can find to change the logon (or even the User name). I'd expect to find it in one of the system settings but no go. I'm marginally capable of editing a config file if someone will just tell me which one, where it is, and the changes to make. I'm elderly but not blind, but did I miss the boat here on changing things via the GUI?
