The relevant parts from the LightDM log are:

[+1.01s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Display server ready, starting session authentication
[+1.01s] DEBUG: Session pid=857: Started with service 'lightdm-autologin', username 'bouncysteve'

[+1.80s] DEBUG: Seat seat0 changes active session to c1
[+1.80s] DEBUG: Session c1 is already active
[+1.82s] DEBUG: Session pid=857: Exited with return value 1

Which says the autologin did complete, but the session exited for some
reason. You may be able to find out why by looking at ~/.xsession-
errors. Otherwise the issue is probably in mate-session.

Title:
  autologin fails for administrator user

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had two user accounts on the machine, an administrator and a normal user.
  I edited a conf file in /etc/lightdm to auto login the unprivileged user, which worked fine. I then deleted the unprivlieged user and changed the config file to autologin the remaining user. This does not work, a password prompt is always presented to this user.
