There isn't an option for a guest account at logon screen. I can create a user with limited access but I want any saved data or changed settings be removed/reset at logout.

  • @KasiyA: The OP seems to be aware of the options. How do those links clarify that there is no option to access a true guest session (where everything is reset at logout) from the login screen in 10.04? – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Sep 20 '14 at 22:25

You need to install the gdm-guest-session package. But in 10.04 there is no way to enter a guest session from the login screen; you can only enter it from within a regular session.

If you switch to 12.04 or 14.04, you'll get what you ask for.
