I want to auto login to the terminal after boot (Jessie).
I tried the instructions here (http://elinux.org/RPi_Debian_Auto_Login), but it didn't work. I think the problem is the new systemd init structure in Jessie.
So, is there any method to auto login to the terminal in Jessie !?
Enter the command sudo raspi-config.
Scroll down to Boot Options and select Console Autologin. Then exit the configuration menu and reboot.
pi user probably you will have issues like this: raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/64189/…)

I found this, the only thing that worked for me.
Open the terminal and make first a backup of the file we are going to edit:
su -
gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.back
Edit now this file:
gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
or
nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Uncomment these two lines:
autologin-user=USERNAME
autologin-user-timeout=0
Replace USERNAME with your own username. Save the file and exit. Run now this command so that changes are taken into effect:
dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
Look at this question, it shows how to enable and disable autologin, both for the GUI and the command-line; raspi-config also does it.
