[Bug 1841290] Re: I am logged in as "live session user", and running the Ubuntu option "try without installing. I am able to create a new user with admin rights, however, I did not log out and back in as the newly created user before the system went into sleep mode. When the machine woke from sleep and landed on the greeter, or login screen, it got stuck there with no login box. I am assuming this is because Ubuntu in live session mode is configured to auto login to the Live Session User account?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Live mode, or 'Try Ubuntu' before installing, is intended to test Ubuntu prior to installing on your actual hardware. Yes it can be used as a 'live' system for diagnosis, fixing problems, but is not intended to be used as a replacement for an installed system.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD

I've marked this as incomplete, as there are many known limitations to
the use of a cow-fs/virtual-file-system created at boot-time. I suggest
you install the system, then you can add user with admin rights and
verify it does work. If the problem still occurs, then please leave a
note on what you found & why it needs to be re-marked as 'New', run
`apport-collect 1841290` and change the status to 'New'.

Bug reports are not for Support, if you require support I suggest
looking at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 or this
bug-report can be converted into a support request (question).

Thanks again for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
  I am logged in as "live session user", and running the Ubuntu option
  "try without installing. I am able to create a new user with admin
  rights, however, I did not log out and back in as the newly created
  user before the system went into sleep mode. When the machine woke
  from sleep and landed on the greeter, or login screen, it got stuck
  there with no login box. I am assuming this is because Ubuntu in live
  session mode is configured to auto login to the Live Session User
  account?

Status in adduser package in Ubuntu:
