I have have set Ubuntu studio 18.04 to not ask for a password at login, but I still have click the login button to get started.

How do I get Ubuntu Studio to auto login and go straight to the desktop on startup?

The above answer wasn't quite correct. The file to edit is /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-ubuntustudio.conf.

I added the following to the file as Mook765 sugested:

[Seat:*]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=yourusername
autologin-user-timeout=0

I had to use sudo nautilus to gain root privileges. Now working as I'd like.

Edit the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (if the file doesn't exist, create it), it should look like this:

[Seat:*]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=yourusername
autologin-user-timeout=0

I had to do one more thing, namely comment out everything in

/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf

This was painting the login dialog, leaving me with a box to click to continue. When I commented this out, the auto-login went to the application specified in my startup settings.
