I was trying to find the /etc/inittab where I do my autologin. But in Ubuntu 11.04 that file seems to be lost. Is this the correct way you do it in Ubuntu?
# Auto Login for Ubuntu how?
# 1. apt-get install mingetty
# 2. vim /etc/init/tty1.conf
# tty1 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.
start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
#exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1
exec /sbin/mingetty --autologin <PUTYOUR_USERNAME_HERE> tty1
