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] ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - [Lucid] Fails to prompt for password in non "face-browser" mode + [Lucid] Fails to prompt for password when user list is disabled (non "face-browser" mode) -- [Lucid] Fails to prompt for password when user list is disabled (non "face-browser" mode) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495304 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
