Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34795
Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Firstly, I am using a Hoary -> Breezy -> Dapper dist-upgraded dapper.
I setup a timed login (5 sec.) for a user. When that user is logged in
already, the "new login" or "switch user" dialog opens up a new gdm in
vt8. Naturally, it tries to do the timed login again (question: is this
wanted if this user is logged in already?). It fails to do so with the
following error: "Authentication failed. Letters must be typed in the
correct case"
I do not know whether the auto-login is supposed to be performed anyway
when $user is logged in already. But i do feel that this error-message
is the wrong one. Moreover, this results in a failed login every five
seconds for me, which looks quite bad in my logfiles :-P
Maybe it is an idea to do a check whether a user for whom the timed
login is setup is already logged in? Or to not allow timed-logins on
gdm-sessions started with the "switch user" dialog?
