** Summary changed: - Guest session from a running session is different and weird compared to guest session from the login screen + Guest session from a running session fails to start unity or bail out to another desktop ** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) => unity (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875785 Title: Guest session from a running session fails to start unity or bail out to another desktop Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Guest session from a running session is different and weird compared to guest session from the login screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. In a running session press your name in the top bar and select guest session. I expected to receive the same session type as when pressing Guest Session in LightDM. I received a strange session type which I don't recognize and can't exit. The session I use for my normal user is Ubuntu (aka Unity 3D) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: lightdm 1.0.1-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Oct 16 17:26:59 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/875785/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
