Installed xorg and mate-desktop-environment through apt-get.  Now I am having a hardtime getting it to stick at booting.

I did add a line exec startx in ~/.profile. But it boots the pine64 and asks for credentials in terminal and only gets to the gui after credentials are entered.  I also couldnt fine /etc/default/grub toset it up there.

What am I missing here??

You won't find a "/etc/default/grub" as grub isn't used with the pine64. 

With systemd, you'll need to do a "systemctl set-default graphical.target" in order to make the change from terminal to GUI boot... I don't know if you need to do anything more than that. You may want to have a look at the install-desktop script that ayufan uses on his distros and configure a few other bits whilst you're at it...
