Hi guys, Had to do without you for 48 hours and was getting withdrawal symptoms. Then somehow my system got past the boot issues, that is the upside of errors that come and go: this time it went. I got to load like 174 updates, including a kernel, Xcore , ATI and Radeon and quite some Gnome elements. In short: I'm back (for now). Anyway, attached my /etc/pam.d/common-auth and /etc/pam.d/common-account as copied off the system a minute ago. I could log in completely normally, the screen showed both user I had created and when clicked I got to type my password and log on normally.
Will keep you posted if this is now really OK of just a one time lucky shot. cheers Tom ** Attachment added: "common-auth" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/42917452/common-auth -- pam_unix(gdm:auth): conversation failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516520 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
