[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1270788] Re: logging out of guest session should notify that data will be cleared
I am glad that Bug #435930 has been addressed, but I agree with Julian that this is still a significant design flaw. Imagine if Microsoft Word displayed the message on launch, "Warning: changes to this document will be lost unless you save it to file before closing Word", and then gave absolutely no warning when closing the document. Ask this question: if an average computer user lost their data because Ubuntu didn't warn at logout, would they blame themselves or Ubuntu? I think the answer is clear. -- 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/1270788 Title: logging out of guest session should notify that data will be cleared Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: If logging out from the guest account resets it and clears all data, then the logout dialog should give a hint that all data will be reset and that the user should cancel if he/she wants to save files on a USB drive, or if he/she wants to ask the host/computer owner to copy the files to a persistent location.

Ah okay.

Hi Gunnar, What was the reason this was changed to invalid in gdm-guest-session?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 435930] Re: Guest session does not warn about temporary nature of files
My brother just lost several hours' worth of work because of this "feature" of Ubuntu. Needless to say, the chances of him ever considering using Ubuntu in the future are now precisely zero. As you can imagine, he was fairly vocal about what he thought of Ubuntu, and quite frankly, I couldn't think of anything to say in Ubuntu's defense. Why would "Linux For Human Beings" assume that anyone knew about this behaviour? I've been using Ubuntu for many years and didn't know about it. As it stands, this is nothing less than Ubuntu deleting your files without asking and without warning. I can't see any reason why this would be considered anything other than a bug in Ubuntu's design. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm-guest-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435930 Title: Guest session does not warn about temporary nature of files Status in “gdm-guest-session” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: New Bug description: Hi all, this is not a bug per se, rather a request for a feature.
