Get rid of guest login

1

how do you get rid of the guest login option on the mate version of ubuntu? It’s what I run now as I hate the unity environment.

Quickest way:
Open the terminal and run at the $ command prompt:
echo ‘allow-guest=false’ | sudo tee --append /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu-mate.conf

Graphical way:
In Caja, navigate to the folder

usr
  |
  share
      |
      lightdm
            |
            lightdm.conf.d

Right-click the file 50-ubuntu-mate.conf and select “Open as administrator”, and enter your password. It should open Pluma (the text file editor).

Add the following line to the end of the file, and save: allow-guest=false

The next time you reboot you will no longer see the option to select the guest session.

thanks, i figured it out on my own after I realized where the file was, but I’ll keep track of your reply in case I forget again.
