Oh, sorry about that, my first though was to replace the gconftool call by a gsettings one, but that turned out to be too flacky, which is why I changed for the approch used there > Since it su to guest user, it is reasonable to me that the gsetting can be set properly for guest user, and that is also what I see when I made tests to use "dbus-launch gsettings". I will be very happy to know what kind of difference causes "dbus-launch gsettings" not function in your side but my side. Well, it's maybe due to the way I tested/debugged it (running the guest- session add script by hand) because I was getting the warnings robert_ancell mentioned earlier: "unable to create directory '/run/user/1000/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.". In any case going through: su -> dbus activation (dbus-launch) -> starting dconf-service -> write the key is lots of steps and seems not the most robust way, it's also expensive since it's going through user loginn dbus activation, etc. The bug here also showed that the "run a command through su and rely on infos to be written to the right place" was flacky (the gconftool->migration approch worked half of the time), so I was reluctant building on the same base. In summary: I think the current approch is safer, just log in an let the session run the command, no dbus activation, no su hackering ... just a normal command running in the user session context ;-) I hope that makes sense -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951000 Title: disable guest session screen lock using gsettings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/951000/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Sebastien, thanks for your reply. I have tried the patch; it works good as expected and I have no issue with it.

[Bug 951000] Re: disable guest session screen lock using gsettings
I tried adding the gsettings command to /usr/sbin/guest-account and ran it manually, i.e.: $ sudo /usr/sbin/guest-acccount add It gives the error: (process:27140): dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create directory '/run/user/1000/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.

[Bug 951000] Re: disable guest session screen lock using gsettings
a similar issue exists with Kubuntu 12.10. lightdm offers a guest session, but * Kickoff's Leave menu offers a Lock action that locks the session, and * when the screensaver activates, it locks the session. in both cases, the lock screen's unlock dialog shows an apparently auto-generated username (e.g. "guest-iW6OvM") and requires a password to unlock the session. as a result, the user is stuck in the lock screen. the unlock dialog offers a "Switch User..." action, which subsequently offers to "Start New Session". but using this to start a "new" guest session actually just switches to the existing session, which is still locked. a quick workaround is to restart lightdm from the console (ctrl+alt+f1, log in as an admin user, ``sudo service lightdm restart``). however, the previous guest session is lost as a result, along with any work that was unsaved in it. also, it shouldn't be expected that a guest user has access to an admin account. glancing over the suggestions in the comments here, it looks like the fix may or may not be specific to the session manager, depending on the chosen approach. i see suggestions that appear to be specific to GNOME (via GSettings); my Kubuntu installation has GSettings, but i have no idea whether/how it is used by Kubuntu. is it appropriate to address this in this bug, or should i create a new one specifically regarding KDE guest sessions? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951000 Title: disable guest session screen lock using gsettings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/951000/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 951000] Re: disable guest session screen lock using gsettings
but part of a larger series of bugs affecting sane defaults for guest session, e.g., web browser "remember password" prompts are unnecessary, prompts to backup the computer are unnecessary and misleading, etc. there are a few others but they escape my memory at the moment. all these problems appear to stem from "guest account" using /etc/skel to form a temporary "new user account," yes?whereas a guest account isn't simply a temporary new account to be discarded on exit, it is a specialized restricted account that should have certain settings completely disabled, like screen lock and backup and automatic updates checking, etc. while i like that guest accounts can be customized from the default using /etc/skel/ i think there is another layer of customization that should be off-limits as it would make no sense (e.g., enabling screen lock). i am unfamiliar with the mechanics of current guest account creation, but maybe someone could manually define the sane guest-session defaults, and then use a script to derive any customizations that don't affect those sane defaults from /etc/skel thus, the system administrator would get their custom new user accounts, but not at the expense of corrupting sane guest session defaults. is this worth another bug report to look at overall sane guest-session defaults, or is the issue that there *are* already sane defaults but they aren't being implemented correctly? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951000 Title: disable guest session screen lock using gsettings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/951000/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
