Public bug reported: 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. The issue is when I try to switch between the guest session and a normal session and back. Switching from guest session to the normal user session is fine. LightDM asks for the normal user password. However, when I try to switch from the normal user to back to the guest session I am asked for password as well. This is the problem as the guest session has no known password. The unlock window has a 'Switch User" button along with Cancel, etc. Clicking the "Switch User" button takes me to the standard LightDM screen. There I can select from the normal user and the guest. However, selecting guest here opens a new guest session, and does not take me back to the guest session already open.
