Disable autologin in Lubuntu 20.4 revisited

Hey guys I know this was in another post that was closed but I can’t for the life of me figure how to turn off autologin or at least change the default log on account in Lubuntu 20.4. that command listed in the other post does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Got it to work

do this
open terminal
type in
sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf

you should see this
[Autologin]
User=Someone
Session=Lubuntu

Now you do this to disable it

[Autologin]

User=Someone

Session=Lubuntu

then push and hold ctrl s then exit out and viola on that. You can also do this

[Autologin]
User=me
Session=Lubuntu

Make sure to push and hold ctrl s and exit (how I learned this lesson isn’t relevant) This will change the auto login account if that is what you are trying to do. This is what I actually wanted to do. I hope this helps others in their quest.

There is supposed a hashtag in front the big USER=SOMEONE that will make it a comment and kill the code.
