Interesting Lee, I don't see an overview so I should details section. I'll look in the control center, to see what I can find. But like I said, I had to install The Gnome system tools package to find users & groups. I'll look with Flat review and see what I find.
First you have to find the unlock button when you are in Settings. You can for this navigate with Orca flat review. After unlocking the option will appear for auto login.

Okay so, update, I now have a login sound! And that worked. Of course I put the same file and a couple of different locations within the smash USR slash are slash sounds directory, as I wasn't sure exactly which subdirectory, it went into, but regardless the sound plays. The issue I'm still having, is with enabling auto log-in. I'm kind of wondering if it's using gdm, and set up a light DM, all I have is at login, of course the speak up comes up and talking, but there's a text box that says enter your username, then I have to tap to password, enter that, and I can either press enter there, or Tab 2 times until I get to login. Those are my only options at that particular screen. But because this is mate, I don't see it under control center for example, details, or whatever. I'll have a look under Administration again, and possibly the personal section. I went ahead and installed gnome system tools, that did however give me the ability to somewhat add / manage users and groups, but I can't change Auto login or do not ask for a password. I can, change my account type, which I did, it was originally custom I changed it to administrator, but that didn't do anything. I have a list with my username, and add, delete, change button for username, a change button for account type, and a change button for password. I'll try that, and then of course there's an advanced button, help, and close. So, I'll play around and see what I can't find. In the event it is using lightDM, instead of Gdm, I'll find the configuration file, and comment out the appropriate lines

Hi Tim,
I guess that it is similar with Ubuntu 18.04. If so go to Settings > Detail > User account.
Find the button for Unlock where you will ask for your password. Tab to the option for auto login and press Enter.
Success.

Thanks! I'll post back and report my findings or issues, I did have one other login related question, I'm not sure if this is using gdm, or lightdm as its display manager, but I'm wondering how to enable auto log-in. I do see Administration under the settings control center section, but I don't see anything about users and groups, or login settings, or anything. I did however install yesterday the mate desktop environment extras package as well. So I'm assuming if it is, I have to go under and comment out in the configuration file to enable auto log-in.

Hi,
I use Ubuntu and the following did it for me:
Open startup applications
Tab to and press the Add button
you can type a name for this action
Tab to type or paste the command:
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"
Tab to the Add button, press Enter
Tab to the Close button and press Enter.
Success.

Hello all, so I haven't Debian on this machine, I'm assuming it's the same if not very similar, with Ubuntu, because when I Google mate / Debian adding a login sound, most all of the information that comes up, is either cinnamon, or Ubuntu, nothing really to do with Debian. And there is no checkbox or anything under startup applications, to add a login sound. So I'm wondering, how would I go about it exactly. There is no desktop login / log out ogg files under / USR / share slash sounds / mate.
