This occurred on Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1:
When attempting to change my account's password multiple times in a
single session the change password window hung. I was able to
successfully change my password once or twice in a session without
incident, however after this on subsequent attempts attempting to change
the account's password again would cause the change password box to
freeze when the new password was submitted.
The change password box became unresponsive and required a system
reboot. On login I could not log in with either the new or old user
password.
To replicate:
1) Login to an account and change the account's password.
2 ) Change the password again
3) Change the password again. After three or four times the change password
prompt may begin to hang as you submit the new password. Exiting the change
password window or rebooting the system while this window is in a hung state
may corrupt the user account, preventing login.
After the user account is corrupted login is not possible. It is also
not possible to decrypt the user's home directory as the ecryptfs-mount-
private command gives an error about the package not being set up
correctly, preventing decryption.
