I initially followed the answer from Oli, but the VM complained about running in low-graphics mode. I think Oli turned off/changed a few too many things by clearing greeter-session. In my case, I want the UI to run. To enable this, only required adding two lines to the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file.

   autologin-user=<username>
   autologin-user-timeout=0

so the complete file looks like:

   [SeatDefaults]
   greeter-session=unity-greeter
   user-session=ubuntu
   autologin-user=<username>
   autologin-user-timeout=0

to test your changes without rebooting sudo service lightdm restart
