Of course, one route would be to modify the screensaver(s) used in Kubuntu so they honor the just mentioned gsettings value. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377497 Title: Unable to unlock guest seesion in Kubuntu 14.04 Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: OS: Kubuntu 14.04 Desktop: KDE Applidation: KDE Screen Lock (sorry, don't know the exact package name) Symptom: After being left alone, Kubutnu will lock the guest user's session.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1377497] Re: Unable to unlock guest seesion in Kubuntu 14.04
Thanks for your report! A guest session is passwordless by design, so screenlocking should indeed be disabled. In Ubuntu this is accomplished in /usr/lib/lightdm/guest-session-auto.sh which is run at login and includes this command: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true So something similar is probably needed for Kubuntu, and we need some involvement by Kubuntu developers to let us know what it would look like. ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377497 Title: Unable to unlock guest seesion in Kubuntu 14.04 Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: OS: Kubuntu 14.04 Desktop: KDE Applidation: KDE Screen Lock (sorry, don't know the exact package name) Symptom: After being left alone, Kubutnu will lock the guest user's session.
