You have been subscribed to a public bug: Get to the lightdm logon screen Choose a user that requires a password. Press and hold a key in the password field for some time
At this point pressing Enter doesn't do anything, the user can't continue to remove the password, can't double click the password field to highlight (and remove) text. So it seems the only way out is to reboot or switch to a tty and restart lightdm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWMrAaxz-Rg ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: lightdm 1.1.9-0ubuntu1 Uname: Linux 3.3.0-030300rc5-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.95-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Mar 30 10:38:17 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha amd64 (20120203) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en TERM=linux PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Michael Terry (mterry) Status: Confirmed ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise -- (over)filling password field makes logon difficult https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
