Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
When using this setting (for enhanced security):
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list
--type bool true
(IE, a gdm which prompts for username, then password, presenting no user
list)...
login fails (it never prompts for a password).
It prompts for a username, but then fails to prompt for a password. It
appears to spawn a new X11 server after the username is entered though -
which is jumping the gun a little.
/var/log/auth.log contains this:
Dec 11 02:37:42 pcjc2lap gdm-session-worker[22102]: pam_unix(gdm:auth):
conversation failed
Dec 11 02:37:42 pcjc2lap gdm-session-worker[22102]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): auth
could not identify password for [pcjc2]
