You need a display manager:
sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter
sudo apt-get install lightdm (first install lightdm-gtk-greeter or it will install unity-greeter as recommended package).
Then you can enable auto-login by adding:

autologin-user=<YOUR USER>
autologin-user-timeout=0

to the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file as described here: How do I enable auto-login in LightDM?
