You could try to install an nfs server on localhost and mount from there. However, I'd be a bit surprised if that actually worked. Setting up nfs is really super easy: apt-get install nfs-kernel-server mkdir -p /srv/nfs/home echo /srv/nfs <clientip>(rw,async) | tee /etc/exports exportfs -rv # server done, you might want to create the actual home directory with # correct owner and permissions, though on the client: sudo apt-get install nfs-common sudo mount <serverip>:/srv/nfs/home /home #client done -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044251 Title: Unable to login - Password input box does not appear Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Bug description: This is in a NIS/Kerberos environment with shared users in a lab. /home is on NFS.
