Set up guest session in Kubuntu?

[Raboch]

Hey all, is there any way to set up Kubuntu to have a guest session like in Ubuntu? That's the one feature in Ubuntu that I really miss. I know that this is listed in KubuntuUbuntuFeatureParity on the Kubuntu wiki, but can't there be a workaround to get this functionality earlier?

Any thoughts?

You can use the KUser program to administer users/groups.

I haven't set up a guest account myself, but you can create a new user called 'guest' and then go to System Settings > Advanced tab > Login Manager > Convenience tab and enable passwordless login for 'guest'.

Is that the effect you were after?

[Raboch]

Yeah, it gets the job done, thanks.

Doesn't the guest account have some special (restrict) permission settings?

Well, unless the guest knows the root password, they can only edit /home/guest/*
