One needed to switch from the guest session to the primary (sudoer) user session to make permanent customization to the guest session. See https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2152804&p=12687863#post12687863 for instructions. This allowed one to do some house cleaning such as disabling the **backup reminder popup** (which one can't setup in a guest session anyways, as all changes are lost on logout), and add Chrome on the Guest's top panel for example. -- 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/1022858 Title: Guest session asks for a password after switching users Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I switch back to an already open guest session from my user account, I find that the guest session is locked and it asks for the Guest password (which obviously there isn't because it's a guest session!).
