    Question How to disable the Guest account

    I followed some instructions and opened the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

    Added the line
    allow-guest=false

    When saving the document it tells me I dont have permissions. I am an Admin on this Ubuntu 11.10

    Dod I need to open terminal and execute any sudo command, which?

    Try editing as root with nano
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
