Unable to logout from guest session on Xubuntu 20.04

  • 772

I have Xubuntu 20.04 installed on a couple of my AMD64 machines, and in each case I've edited:

/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-disable-guest.conf

do that it now contains:

[Seat:*]
allow-guest=true

And I'm now able to satisfactorily login to a guest session, but when I attempt to logout I get:

Receiver error while trying to log out
GDBus.Error.org .. Type of message "(yb)", does not match expected type "(b)"

  1. I have reported the issue here

    Workaround:

    sudo mv /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-guest-wrapper.conf /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-guest-wrapper.conf.bak

    I am not aware of any negative side effects of the workaround.
