[How to ] Remove Guest Session from Ubuntu 12.04

Personally I think it’s better to remove Guest session from login  as it prevents from unauthorised access of our local drive data. In Ubuntu 12.04 , we can remove Guest session from login through small changes in Lightdm.conf  file .

This tutorial will show you how to remove Guest session from Ubuntu 12.04  which is present  by default  in it .

    “Open the terminal and run the following command to edit the Lightdm.conf .”
    I take it you meant to put the actual coommand instead of the editor that appears after the given command…
    Thank you for your help, I did it through; sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

    Hi Mr. Raj,
    I’m from Kerala, doing restaurant management. I’m using Ubuntu 12.04. I wanted to remove login session due to wastage of time. For that whenever I try to unlock the user account, a dialogue box appear, vibrate and dissappear very fast. I can’t read it or make any changes. Would you please help?
    Sincerely,
    Jayakumar.M
