You have been subscribed to a public bug: The /usr/sbin/guest-account file includes a couple of 'hooks' to make customization of the guest sessions easier. One possibility is to create the /etc/guest-session/skel directory, and fill it with guest session specific stuff that should always be included when launching a guest session.
An idea to extend this possibility was recently discussed at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566078. The idea is to create a special purpose regular user, and replace the directory /etc/guest- session/skel with a symlink with the same name. sudo ln -s /home/someuser /etc/guest-session/skel However, that approach proved to require a trailing slash on the line gs_skel=/etc/guest-session/skel in /usr/sbin/guest-account. The proposed change does not prevent the original idea, i.e. a directory instead of a symlink. ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) Status: Fix Committed -- A more flexible use of the /etc/guest-session/skel hook desirable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956152 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
