I want the Guest session to be able to access /home, maybe as read-only, and other directories as well.

    Please see the answers to these questions: [Allowing guest session to access certain user directories](http://askubuntu.com/questions/9990/allowing-guest-session-to-access-certain-user-directories) and [How to access mounted file systems as a guest user?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/186279/how-to-access-mounted-file-systems-as-a-guest-user). – Peachy May 31 '13 at 16:52
  • Thanks! The first question is for old Ubuntu releases. I found the answer in the second one. – Amr Ibrahim May 31 '13 at 22:18

In that case it sounds as if you'd better just create a new user account and use that for your 'guests' instead of the guest session feature. As you can see in the docs, it's not a coincidence that you can't access /home from a guest session.

If you persist, you can change the permissions profile of a guest session by editing the applicable file under /etc/apparmor.d. In Ubuntu 13.04 it's /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/lightdm; the file may have a different name in 12.04.
