How to set up auto logon?

[pelgrim]

I have:
50-disable-log-backup.conf
50-guest-wrapper.conf
50-xserver-command.conf
50-greeter-wrapper.conf
50-unity-greeter.conf

I'm not running unity, so I can rule that one out,
the rest is just guessing.

I must say: I have spend the best part of today to install ubuntu (fast and easy with the image from the forum),
have firefox running (also found rather fast on the forum)
and having auto login and vnc loading on startup
These last 2 I mixed, and I wished I saw your solution this morning ...
vnc still doesn't start by itself, the solution on this forum (or any solution found anywhere so far) just don't work.

I'm a very happy ubuntu user for years, but I'm certainly not a system engineer, just a programmer who want to use the damn thing,
and sometimes linux is just a pain in the ass to get it working right ...
But when it does, it DOES
