Removing Guest account

I have tried the steps in other posts, but the Guest login account for Zorin 8 gaming will not go away. I've tried installing other programs for managing users but the Guest account does not show up in any of the lists so that I may remove it. If there is no way to remove it, Is there a way I can hide it from the login page?

Thanks,

Hi, please try the guide here:

Scroll down to the 13.10 instructions as that is what Zorin 8 is based on.

Keep us posted!

Hi,

quick and nasty:

Press Ctrl+Alt+t to open the terminal. when it opens, paste the following command(s) :

Code:

sudo nano /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf

Add the following line, save and close.

Code:

allow-guest=false

Reboot, and it should solve the problem.

Wolfman - I'm having a disconnnect.

The landoflinux link points to:
sudo vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf

This file does exist on my system.

However your last post points to:
sudo nano /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf

This directory/file does not exist on my Zorin 8 system:

Code:

$ ls -l /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/
ls: cannot access /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/: No such file or directory
$ ls -l /usr/share/lightdm

Alternatively, I've checked/changed the following and I still have a guest account:

Code:

$ cd /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/
$ ls -ltr
