Bug Description

Ubuntu MATE 20.10 with arctica-greeter no longer selects username created during installation during first boot.

Per test case 1300 for Ubuntu MATE, step #20.

"The system boots properly and loads into Ubuntu MATE showing username selected at step 15"

Expected outcome:

Username created during installation is selected and user can enter password directly to login.

Actual outcome:

Instead user is required to selected the user they created during the installation process in order to be able to login.

Commenting out: greeter-show-manual-login=true in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-arctica-greeter.conf

Appears to return the previous login characteristics of Ubuntu MATE.

I can confirm commenting out manual login as suggested in comment 5 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arctica-greeter/+bug/1895875/comments/5) makes created user to be highlighted.
