Just so someone is aware this *IS* a continuing issue. Last night I updated from 2.6.35-28 to 2.6.35-30 and on reboot was unable to login to the GUI. I was able to login to the TTY session however. By making the two edits to /etc/pam.d/gdm I was able to login to the GUI successfully.
Thanks to ehpc, I didn't really want to rebuild this system... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203755 Title: 'authorization failed' at gnome login Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: System: Ubuntu 8.04 hardy 64bit I have had my system set to auto login for quite some time now. I temporarily turned that off. When the gnome login shows up before I get a chance to enter my username or password an error pops up stating 'authorization failed'. Clicking ok just makes the same error occur again. All I can do is ctrl+alt+backspace and ctrl+alt+del to reboot.
