Thanks for reporting this issue. However, it has certainly nothing to do with the ubuntu-docs package. Even if I'm not sure, I changed the affected package to lightdm.

Implement ldpap server behind firewall (connectable behind vpn) 2. Implement cached enabled ldap client on a laptop 3. Start up the laptop and let it autoconnect [prior to login] to a previously known vlan outide the vpn 4. Login to gnome with a ldap user that has successfully logged-in in the past EXPECTED RESULT: Logged in with cached in credentials ACTUAL RESULT (one of the following) * Long time then black screen (powercycle needed) * Long time then back to login * Text authentication error WORKAROUND I have a local user, log in with that user and connect to vpn, log out and then login with my ldap user. NOTE - In step 4 above it is possible to login in to tty1 with the expected result, so I know my ldap client/server and the caching have been set up correctly. - It is possible to login to gnome if laptop has not connected to a wlan (for example if there is no known wlan around), then the expected result happens after point 4. - I think that gnome tries to connect to the ldap, and while it is online it tries that forever and never goes on to the cached-in-credentials as it should.
