As shown in the original description, I already did have that setting in my config. Please note that with that setting, I did get a prompt to enter my username, however the *password* box did not appear. However, the latest upload of lightdm did change things for me. with the latest lightdm package version, I can confirm that leaving out the setting greetings-show-manual-login makes me unable to even enter my username. However, with the setting, I get both the input box for the username and the password box, and logging in becomes possible. -- 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: Triaged Status in “lightdm” source package in Quantal: Triaged Bug description: This is in a NIS/Kerberos environment with shared users in a lab. /home is on NFS.
