** Description changed: + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/408 + + --- + I don't which package this applies to, but I believe the best bet is GDM. Steps to reproduce: 1) Log-in using X11 login via GDM. 2) Use the desktop for a while. (For some reason I cannot reproduce if I login and then restart after a short while). 3) In Gnome click System menu -> Power Button -> Restart 4) Quickly press CTRL-ALT-F1 5) I see my login password in plain text in the console. Once I saw the login password repeated twice. See attached photo with the login password blanked out. Below the password is the console cursor. ## lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 ## apt-cache policy gdm3 gdm3: - Installed: 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 - Candidate: 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 - Version table: - *** 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 500 - 500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 + Candidate: 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 + Version table: + *** 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 500 + 500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: gdm3 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-18.19-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Apr 30 14:54:07 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-04-13 (17 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Beta amd64 (20180404) SourcePackage: gdm3 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
