Works, but the screen reader is pretty bad. The voice is distorted in VMs, and I cannot make sense of what it is trying to say. I think a re-recording or a better program is required.

No auto login in Ubuntu GNOME (#1547297)

Generally, I was able to install Ubuntu using the screen reader, but there are some minor issues:
1. Ctrl + s hotkey is no longer working - it should be Super + Alt + S, I'll make a fix shortly.
2. After trying to run screen reader with Super + Alt + S on the welcome screen (this one when you can choose between "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu"), nothing happens. I need to click "Try Ubuntu", and then screen reader is launched (so, I can hear the screen reader since step 8).
3. Step 32: The screen reader doesn't start after installing Ubuntu (even after two restarts). I need to run it manually with either the hotkey or the Accessibility menu.
I'll try to get in touch with the Accessibility team to discuss the issue 2 and 3.

Also, auto log in doesn't work.
