Auto login root user at system start in Kali Linux - GNOME and KDE


Kali Linux is a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. It is maintained and funded by Offensive Security Ltd. Mati Aharoni and Devon Kearns of Offensive Security developed it by rewriting BackTrack, their previous forensics Linux distribution.
By default root is the only user account in Kali Linux. It doesn’t present any option to create another user during installation. It however presents an option to set root password during installation. You need root privileges to run pretty much everything in Kali Linux. You can create another non root standard user (See previous post: Add remove user (standard user/non-root) in Kali Linux) for day to day use given that Kali is your Primary Linux distribution but it might get tedious to type in the root password every time you login. This guide will show you how to make a simple few line changes to allow your auto login root  user at system start or boot time in both KDE and GNOME Desktop.
