Since filing the bug report I have updated my system to Karmic. So far the behaviour described in the bug has not reappeared. Thus, it does not seem to be an issue for me any longer.
However, on Jaunty the problem persisted until the update to Karmic. It is possible that the behaviour is related to the login process in general. Namely, at least once the login failed in a similar fashion, when trying to login via a tty. The login produced a stack trace and I was kicked back to the tty login prompt. The second login attempt was successful. I was never able to catch the stack trace, so unfortunately that information will not be useful. -- The first login fails randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397333 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
