I can't reproduce this. If I already have a guest user, the setup script
rightfully fails:

My system still crashes on "switch user". I also removed the fglrx proprietary
ATI drivers, rebooted,
and observed the same failure.
Gnome, AMD64 SMP box, dual-head ATI R3xxx videocard.
I'm happy to test any fault isolation ideas.

I found the solution for me.

I'm having the same problem too; selecting the 'Guest session' causes
the screen to go blank and the PC becomes unresponsive. The only option
is to power it off; logging in via SSH doesn't work - I can't even ping
it once it locks up.
Like Robert above, I've got a dual-head setup with fglrx. I'm r
Deleting and re-adding the guest account did not help at all - immediate
