[Bug 2038017] Re: ubiquity MATE Daily Build 23.10 autologin not working

[paulw2u]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Ubuntu 23.10 (mantic) reached end-of-life on July 11, 2024.

The Ubiquity installer is now unmaintained as it has been replaced by
either the 'Ubuntu Desktop Installer' or 'Calamares' starting with the
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release. So this bug report is being closed as
'Invalid' as the reported issue will not be fixed or investigated.

New bug reports relating to Ubuntu's installer should be reported
against the 'ubuntu-desktop-provision' project or the 'calamares'
package.

Title:
  ubiquity MATE Daily Build 23.10 autologin not working

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Installing MATE 23.10 Daily Build and selecting "Login automatically',
  autologin should have been set in the configuration files however I
  was presented with the signon screen and was required to login on
  first boot. Getting into Settings >> Users and Groups >> gene >>
  Password: Not asked at login

  This is correctly indicated however the underlying configuration file
  is still not configured.

  I attempted to change this field toggling off/on to see if the
  underlying code existed to set the config file. I rebooted and
  confirmed that I was still required to login with my oassword.

  I was able to get autologin into this session by making manual modification of the file 
  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/91-arctica-greeter-mate.conf
