Disable Ubuntu Guest Session feature..md

Disable Ubuntu Guest Session feature.

Disabling the feature If you prefer to not allow guest access to your computer, you can disable the Guest Session feature. To do so, press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal window, and then run this command:

sudo sh -c 'printf "[Seat:*]\nallow-guest=false\n" >/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-no-guest.conf'

The command creates a small configuration file. To re-enable Guest Session, simply remove that file:

sudo rm /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-no-guest.conf
