Title:
  guest session will not open

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  What I expected to happen:

  By choosing the guest session option (either from the login screen or
  the user menu when logged in to a normal account) a guest session
  should be launched.

  What happened instead:

  By choosing either method, the screen goes blank for a moment before I
  am returned to the login screen.

  Looking at the logs, it looks like the guest "/home" is created in
  /tmp, but for whatever reason it can't be used.  At first I thought it
  was due to the apparmor profile for the guest session, since it throws
  up a lot of denied  entries, but even after putting that profile in
  complain mode, the issue persists.
