Dear fellows,
I would like to re-active the guest session for LightDM, which is the default display manager of Ubuntu Budgie 18.04. Also I am willing to take the risk for the known security issue which comes along.
My LightDM configuration looks like that:
$ lightdm --show-config
[Seat:*]
H allow-guest=true
C greeter-wrapper=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session
D guest-wrapper=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-guest-session
E greeter-session=slick-greeter
F xserver-command=X -core
G user-session=budgie-desktop
[LightDM]
B backup-logs=false
Sources:
A /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-disable-guest.conf
B /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-disable-log-backup.conf
C /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-greeter-wrapper.conf
D /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-guest-wrapper.conf
E /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-slick-greeter.conf
F /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-xserver-command.conf
G /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50_budgie-desktop.conf
H /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/99-enable-guest-session.conf
So, the guest session is available in the login screen.
Now, I want to log in choosing the guest session. First it looks like its working properly. Unfortunately, as soon as the Budgie desktop appears the guest session gets terminated immediately and I find myself back on the login screen again. I simply can’t start a the guest session.
What the log says:

There are a lot of recources out in the realm of Google about this topic and many seem to succeed for Ubuntu, but I didn’t find one describing my exact issue. That’s why I wonder, if this might be some Ubuntu Budgie specific issue? I hope some one can help me out.
/EDIT My system is running Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.2 LTS.
Thanks in advance
