Up to 15.10 you can put e.g. this line in /etc/guest-session/prefs.sh: adduser $USER somegroup But if you try that in 16.04, the guest session won't launch. The explanation is that after the reorganization of the guest session code in 16.04, prefs.sh is sourced by /usr/share/lightdm/guest- session/setup.sh, which is not run as root. The linked merge proposals restore the previous behavior by letting prefs.sh be sourced by /usr/sbin/guest-account again. [Regression Potential] Low.
