You have been subscribed to a public bug:
In 12.04 with latest updates.
Steps to reproduce:
1. start a guest session
2. allow the computer to suspend after timeout
3. resume the computer from suspend
4. a password prompt prevents guest (or any) user from resuming session
As it stands, the user must press "switch user" at #4 above to go back
to the login screen and may then re-enter the guest session from there.
If the way that a guest session works is that it creates a temporary
random password every time, that password should automatically be
entered at step 4 above so the user never sees the password prompt,
OR the guest session should always be created with "require my password
when waking from suspend" unchecked.
OR, computer should resume at login screen indicating that a guest user
is already logged in (automatically run "switch user" command before
suspend or after resume)?
** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Incomplete
