Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
00] Environment - two users logged in. There is a dedicated root-user account, with a dedicated password, and the other users have NO sudoer privileges. 01] User#1 request to shut down the machine using gnome panel applet 02] response is a black screen with authorization window requiring password (picture of keys on left side) and warning that another user is logged in. [[ BTW ### Nothing in the message states which of the three passwords are being requested! ]] 03] Each of the three passwords are tried at least once [[ BTW ### None of the passwords are REPORTED to have been accepted ]] 04] After a final shudder and claim that the password could NOT be authenticated, the authentication window disappears, and the GDM greeter screen appears. [[ HUH?! Did it just 'give up', or did it mis-report a proper password authentification as improper? If so, which password? ]] 05] The GDM greeter allows the computer to be shut down using the button on the right side of the lower panel. [[ But this happedned without authentification !! ]] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu3 [modified: usr/share/gdm/gdm-greeter-login-window.ui] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-24.39-hostname 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-24-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Aug 16 01:07:03 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100429) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gdm ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 lucid -- gdm allows shutdown when other accounts open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/618512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
