User accounts on Ubuntu don't have a .bash_login file by default, but you can just create one if you want. It's a simple shell script file with no special requirements.

Alternatively, if it is not specific to Bash only or you don't use any other shells anyway, you can also make the modifications you want to your .profile file, which is also read by login shells, right after the .bash_login one, if it exists.

For more information, see man bash and search for the INVOCATION chapter.
