Root autologin is broken after lighdtdm update, fix by doing this:
nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
  at [Seat:*] group uncomment/edit:
  autologin-user=root
  autologin-user-timeout=0

now..
nano /etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin 
  change:
    auth      required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success
  to:
    auth      required pam_succeed_if.so user != anything quiet_success

all done! :)
