Lightdm does not return after reboot.


Hi,

The display manager at Sparky Linux 7 just disappeared from the screen, now I am able to enter without logging into the system, xfce4.

Only when I 'close session', the display returns to log in, but when I don't, when I restart or shut down the system, that's when it disappears, no more comes, and the system enters directly without logging in.

*I was cleaning the system, I removed non-essential applications for me ... I reinstalled lightdm, nothing changes.

Code:
root@keos-inspiron3583:~# systemctl status display-manager

You turned autologin on - autologin-user=keos in lightdm.conf.
