Title:
Login screen password entry not working on systems with fingerprint
support
Status in GNOME Shell:
Unknown
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell source package in Focal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
This bug didn't affect current focal, but we still prefer to test it
to ensure we're not regressing while fixing LP: #1865838.
This bug is for the login package. This only affects users of the
development release and does not affect stable users. The bug in the
password entry causes either the password to be entered only for the
login to hang, or when attempting to enter the password, the computer
quickly deletes any characters entered as if backspace was being held
therefore preventing a user from being able to log in.
[ Test case ]
- In a system with a fingerprint reader supported by fprintd:
Try to login in GDM using password authentication with an user that
has NO enrolled fingerprints
- Logging in should be possible, and so unlocking the screen
[ Regression potential ]
Impossible to login with authentication methods that expose them as
unavailable.
