I didn't unity so I installed gnome shell 3.18.5 on my ubuntu 16.04. Now every time I start my laptop I have to enter password to login. Auto login is enabled in settings but doesn't work for some reason. So how do I fix this issue?

  • Not sure, but perhaps autologin for Gnome Shell only works wiht GMD display manager, whereas you may (still) be using lightdm, the default display manager of 16.04.
