What happened?

Use the new Ubuntu Desktop Installer and enable the screen reader to complete the install. After the install is complete, the screen reader is not activated for the new install

What was expected?

With the Legacy Installer, installing with the screen reader turned on enables the screen reader for both the login screen and for (at least) the first user.

Steps to reproduce

  • Boot the installer ISO
  • After it plays the welcome sound, press Super+Alt+S to turn on the screen reader
  • Complete the installation with the screen reader turned on
  • When the install is complete, restart the computer
  • The login screen should have the screen reader enabled

Workaround

After restarting Ubuntu, press Super+Alt+S to turn on the screen reader

Additional context

20230920 Ubuntu Desktop Mantic ISO

Cross-filed at https://launchpad.net/bugs/2036962 for use with Ubuntu's ISO tracker

Also added this reference to the Mantic Release Notes to recommend that people who need the screen reader should use the Legacy desktop installer for now.

Updating the title to match the description, the configuration is correctly carried to the installed system user session but the issue is about the login screen
