[Bug 1464958] Re: chromium-browser does not run in guest account

 

This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 1.17.0-0ubuntu1

---------------
lightdm (1.17.0-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
    - Disable log backups - this interferes with logrotate.
    - Support using libaudit to generate audit events.
    - Handle trailing whitespace on boolean values in configuration.
    - Update example configuration to more correctly match allowed options.
    - Fix unnecessary X server from being launched when locking seats.
    - Check the version of the X server we are running so we correctly pass
      -listen tcp when required.
    - Allow reading /proc/<PID>/net/dev from within a guest session.
      (LP: #1442609)
    - Allow guest sessions to write in /{,var/}run/screen folder.
      (LP: #1442611)
    - Update guest-session AppArmor profile to be suitable for openSUSE.
    - Fix apparmor profiles for running Chromium in guest sessions.
      (LP: #1504049, LP: #1464958)
    - Fix configure failing without Vala installed.
  * Build with multi-arch
  * debian/lightdm.logrotate:
    - Use logrotate to handle log files placed in the default system log
      directory (/var/log/lightdm).
  * debian/guest*:
    - Optimize guest account creation, use OverlayFS of AuFS if available.
