Public bug reported: lightdm creates a directory in /tmp and mounts a tmpfs over it as a home directory for guest users.
I'd prefer it (at least as a configurable option) if it instead would mount /tmp/guest... over /home/guest via an aufs file system. That way the admin could provide some default contents, that are completely restored for every login, and it does not waste RAM. regards ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: lightdm 1.0.5-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-13.21-generic 3.0.6 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Nov 5 11:09:46 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100427.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:de_DE:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/tcsh SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-29 (6 days ago) ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886490 Title: use aufs instead of tmpfs for guest account Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: lightdm creates a directory in /tmp and mounts a tmpfs over it as a home directory for guest users.
