Done. Please find attached the terminal output. Incidentally, I made a new install on another partition, this time from the release version of 11.10, and on that I can open a guest session without a problem (just to be clear, the terminal output is from the old install).
** Attachment added: "Terminal Output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/870373/+attachment/2561843/+files/Terminal%20Output -- 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/870373 Title: guest session will not open Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: What I expected to happen: By choosing the guest session option (either from the login screen or the user menu when logged in to a normal account) a guest session should be launched. What happened instead: By choosing either method, the screen goes blank for a moment before I am returned to the login screen. Looking at the logs, it looks like the guest "/home" is created in /tmp, but for whatever reason it can't be used. At first I thought it was due to the apparmor profile for the guest session, since it throws up a lot of denied entries, but even after putting that profile in complain mode, the issue persists.
