[Desktop-packages] [Bug 871667] Re: .Xauthority sometimes owned by root, which blocks login
It appears that lightdm 1.2.3 still has the problem. The issue cropped up in an install of 64-bit Mythbuntu 12.04, after it had been running fine for about 15 months. The nvidia 6150 chip was failing and locking up the system randomly, so it was replaced with an nvidia 8600GTS PCI-E card. After the first successful boot with the 8600GTS card, the user could not log in to the PC, until the /home/username/.Xauthority file ownership was changed from root to the users username. The /var/log/lightdm file shows that lightdm 1.2.3 is running.

A colleague of mine was also affected by this bug upgrading to 12.04. Just had to change the owner of the .Xauthority file: chown myuser:myuser /home/myuser/.Xauthority (.Xauthority was previously owned by root). But from the user point of view, this bug is really hard to understand. When he try to login, the screen just get back to the login screen after few seconds. There is no error message, neither no log about what is the issue anywhere.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 871667] Re: .Xauthority sometimes owned by root, which blocks login
I bumped into this as well, with lightdm and gdm after a release upgrade from
11.04.
The proposed solution to remove, ~/.Xauthority and ~/.ICEauthority doesn't work
for me.
I still don't have the solution of what triggers this but I suggest to fiddle
with .profile, excluding some lines make the issue apparently go away. (However
I can't afford to comment out addsshagent or virtualenwrapper in my setup)
I notice a weird thing: even declaring a simple function in my .profile
triggers the problem ie:
damn() { export foo=boo }
damn
this cause the gdm/lightdm not to login as described here. Does this
make any sense to you? Do you experience the same?
With kdm (no matters if I go to kde or gnome) my usual .profile expose
no problems and I can enter but I have another possibly related issue it
fails to gracefully terminate the session the screen remains still with
just the background and the mouse pointer (still working) with no
activity!
On three stupid login programs I can't even use one.
if you have ideas please suggest, I don't think I have a very special setup but
I'll post info if required

Reply for #16: I just upgraded two days ago directly from 11.04 to 11.11 via online update. I never had lightdm on this machine before. Thus the problem exists is in the current version. AFAIKT the patch repairs the bug but does not fix the root cause, right? (Never mind, just for the sake of completeness. Main thing is that the problem is fixed.) My bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/878515 seems to be a dupe of this one. Only the user which made the upgrade was affected. The other users work. I will try to change ownership/authorizations of ~/.Xauthority this evening. Reply for #19: When will this patch be available for system actualization?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 871667] Re: .Xauthority sometimes owned by root, which blocks login
bug #855773 was similar and closed, Robert wrote For the recent security fix LightDM has to drop privileges to write the authority file, but I guess it could be set wrong. and I'm going to close this. I think lightdm can't do anything sane in this case. Thanks for the bug report! So it might not be a lightdm issue since the owner doesn't match what lightdm would set? -- 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/871667 Title: .Xauthority sometimes owned by root, which blocks login Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric: Confirmed Bug description: Each time I upgrade to a newer ubuntu on a particular machine, something breaks.

Robert, do you have some ideas about this one? Colin just ran into the issue, it seems to happen randomly to some users and virtual let them with no way to log in (if they don't know to vt switch and rm the file) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: (unassigned) = Robert Ancell (robert-ancell) -- 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/871667 Title: .Xauthority sometimes owned by root, which blocks login Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric: Confirmed Bug description: Each time I upgrade to a newer ubuntu on a particular machine, something breaks.
