After I put in the symlink for initctl into /bin path above and could log in, I ran into an issue where I was having odd errors like not authorized in the disk tool, and Network settings within UI were inaccessible, etc This is beyond the other weird issues with the path stuff from above... I found an old bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/likewise-open/+bug/1162836
I had the same problem where after I finally logged in, my $PATH variable was a ways off from what the local user. Per that bug, I updated /etc/pam.d/common-session and made the following change the line: session sufficient pam_lsass.so to: session [success=ok default=ignore] pam_lsass.s After a reboot, my path was ok, and everything seems to be working as normal again. I am going to test removing the symlinks that were added, as I suspect with the path fixed, they may not be needed. I will report back what I find. -- 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/1228079 Title: Login issue: Lightdm + LDAP + Kerberos Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: lightdm 1.7.15-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 13.10 - Local users can login without problems on command line and LightDM - Kerberos/LDAP authenticated users can login on command line - Kerberos/LDAP authenticated users cannot login with LigthDM.
