[Bug 1377497] [NEW] Unable to unlock guest seesion in Kubuntu 14.04

 

Public bug reported:

OS: Kubuntu 14.04
Desktop: KDE
Applidation: KDE Screen Lock (sorry, don't know the exact package name)

Symptom: After being left alone, Kubutnu will lock the guest user's
session. It is then not possible to resume (blank passwords or obvious
possibles like "password", "guest" are no accepted) and the computer
needs to be rebooted to gain access (losing any files and data that the
guest might have in-use).

Expected behaviour: Either the screen does not lock, or the guest
account is informed of the password to use during log-in

I have read bug 1059625 but that appears to applyt to Gnome (or possibly
Unity) whereas this affects Kubuntu/KDE.

** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
