AutoLogon

Sometimes you need to autologon, here's how

First find out which Display Manager is active on your Kali: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager

If you have gdm3 you will see: /usr/sbin/gdm3 If you have ligthtDM you will see: /usr/sbin/lightdm

If you want to switch between gdm3 and lightDM: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

For gdm3 open the configuration file: sudo vi /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf

Uncomment the following two lines, save and reboot: AutomaticLoginEnable = true AutomaticLogin = kali

For lightDM open the configuration file: sudo vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Uncomment the following line under Seat, save and reboot: [Seat:*] ... autologin-user=kali

Install gdm3: sudo apt update && sudo apt install gdm3
