1453782 2018-09-27 04:10:00 I never assigned myself a username, but I DO have a password.

Should I try the default username --- whatever that might be?

This thing just started all by itself - I do not believe that I ever invoked it to ask me to sign in, as I am the only person on this 'puter.

Easy way to check: Open a terminal and look at the prompt. It should say username@hostname. If it doesn't, or it doesn't make sense, try running the 'whoami' command.

1453784 2018-09-27 06:51:00 There has to be a user. You posted terminal input in a thread ages back, the start of it before the @ sign is your username or if you look in the /home folder, a directory in there will also be your username. If you have another distro on there or you boot the live media, you maybe able to navigate to that installations home directory.

So this definitely looks like the login screen, although not one I have encountered, it may just be a different theme. There should be a way to re-enable auto login, possibly in the users and groups settings. If it's not sticking, maybe there's an issue.You may want to do: dmesg in terminal and see if theres any problems.
