[Bug 354378] Re: Deadlock when PAM_TEXT_INFO is used
Hi Steve I've got no problems doing some testing. I've fixed the problem I had, but it's not hard to reproduce the situation I had before. In saying that fixing the notification message for the fingerprint reader software brings up another prompt - a notification message is raised requesting a finger be scanned before the authentication is complete ( the package makes the finger print additional to the username / password, and not a replacement ) , so the patch will be interesting to see in action.

[Bug 354378] Re: Deadlock when PAM_TEXT_INFO is used
I'm not sure if this is somewhat related but since I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 I cannot use anything that uses the newer authentication system. I get an issue when I try to edit a network connection via the new network manager or edit a user. Taking the network manager example, I added a strace session to the authenticate dialogue box , entered my password and watched the output... which wasn't much - I've masked the password. 17:42:06.448553 read(0, \n..., 4096) = 9 17:42:15.951992 write(9, \n..., 9) = 9 17:42:15.952043 read(10, PAM_TEXT_INFO Could not locate an..., 4096) = 90 17:42:16.221059 write(1, PAM_TEXT_INFO Could not locate an..., 90) = 90 17:42:16.221115 read(0, and that's it. it just hangs, I can't close the dialogue I can't do anything... short of killing the process. My system isn't using an AD authentication it should just be a stock standard install of 8.10 upgraded to 9.04 -- Deadlock when PAM_TEXT_INFO is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 354378] Re: Deadlock when PAM_TEXT_INFO is used
cdmdotnet, It sounds like you're describing the same basic issue here. You may be able to get more useful information out of the error if you run strace with '-s 128', so that you can see the full message - that won't get you to a fix for this bug, but you might find out what extra information PAM is trying to give you, and address that if it points to another problem. -- Deadlock when PAM_TEXT_INFO is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 354378] Re: Deadlock when PAM_TEXT_INFO is used
Hi Steve Thanks alot for that switch -s 128. I had started to play with my old fingerprint reader since upgrading, which is reporting an information warning message Could not locate any suitable fingerprints matched with available hardware. That's another issue which I'll take care of outside of here. I guess it does emphasise how information messages may cause a few issues. In my case it wasn't an information message about password expiry. No idea if it will help you guys.

I'm waiting a few days for a reaction from the author, but either way there should be a package to test in a few days. We would be grateful if you could test that package when it is available and report your findings here.

Hi, I've attached this patch to the upstream bug, but the code has been completely re-written in git, so it's not clear whether he will be interested. I think this may be appropriate to fix for Jaunty, or older releases, but perhaps it should be in an SRU. Release team, what do you think?
