Selecting auto-login during install fails to set autologin to on

[Erick Brunzell]

If you select to automatically login during installation of 20160417 amd64 Ubuntu GNOME on first boot you're asked to login. Once logged in you'll find that the User UI setting is set to off. If you change it to on it then works properly.

This is due to incorrect paths in ubiquity point to the old /etc/gdm rather than /etc/gdm3

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

This requires a change in user-setup too, which will be imported in ubiquity.

This bug was fixed in the package user-setup - 1.63ubuntu3
