[Touch-packages] [Bug 1775088] Re: Ubuntu Mate guest session locked out when switching from another account
I had a brief look at this using the latest daily build ISO for Ubuntu MATE 21.04. lightdm has code for disabling the MATE screensaver. I confirmed that it works by opening a terminal window within a guest session: $ gsettings get org.mate.screensaver lock-enabled false But I could still reproduce the issue, i.e. I switched to my regular user and then when trying to switch back to the guest session it prompted me for the non-existing password. We should keep in mind that the guest session feature is deprecated and disabled by default: https://askubuntu.com/q/915415 AFAIK nobody makes any effort any longer to make sure it keeps working when software is upgraded. ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** 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/1775088 Title: Ubuntu Mate guest session locked out when switching from another account Status in Ubuntu MATE: New Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ATTN: Ubuntu Mate Developers Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 lightdm: Installed: 1.26.0-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.26.0-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.26.0-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status In Ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS LightDM, I created a file in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, with the line: allow-guest=true This allows me to log into a guest session.
