Bug description:
  To reproduce start a live seisson of lubuntu from the livecd. Then
  walk away from the keyboard and do not press anything in the live
  seisson. Then the screen will lock and show other at the login screen.

  Expected behavior is not to have live seisson lock as then don't
  really have a password set and would not let me log in. Also locking
  is a bit pointless and gives false senese of security because you
  could just change the password in single user mode from a virtual
  terminal.

  The screen locks when I step away from the live cd for a few minutes
  and eat lunch for example in both hardware and in a virtual machine.
  Which I have since tested.

  Work around is enter sudo passwd lubuntu in the virtual terminal which
  you do not need any current password for in the live session and then
  log back in to your live session.

  3. I expected to still be able to get into the live seisson and log in when went away from keyboard and not be logged out. I was away from keyboard for about half an hour in virtualbox.

  4. What happened instead was I taken to the lightdm login screen with
  a locked seisson the password with passwd at the lightdm login screen
  and had to set a password for the lubuntu user to log in.
