[Bug 1755800] Re: Greeter/lockscreen fails to authenicate in an endless loop. Repeated "No space left on device" errors and strange swap file configuration
We can close this bug report at this point. But I do appreciate the follow up! It turns out that there were two problems. The first was that 18.04 had misconfigured the cryptoswap so that was not working at all. I reported this separately before the release of bionic and I believe that this bug has been fixed by the maintainers. The second was that the kernel was running out of inotify watches and this prevented (for some reason) gdm3 from allowing logins to complete. The inotify watches were being consumed by the Crashplan java app. I increased the fs.inotify.max_user_watches to 1048576 and that solved the problem. I realize that this consumes some unswappable ram, but I rather have Crashplan than not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755800 Title: Greeter/lockscreen fails to authenicate in an endless loop.

[Bug 1755800] Re: Greeter/lockscreen fails to authenicate in an endless loop
I've been studying the swap mess. It seems that the installer made a swapfile called /swapfile and entered the line in /etc/crypttab as: cryptswap1 /target/swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes- xts-plain64 which is the wrong, non-existent filename. So that seems to be an issue with the installer scripts. Also, I do not believe that the installer even asked me about a swap partition. I recall being surprised at the time. Anyway, after fixing that and rerunning ecryptfs-setup-swap, I was able to use cryptdisks_start to get the encrypted swap going and reboot with encrypted swap successfully. I wonder if this has been the root of my problem all along? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755800 Title: Greeter/lockscreen fails to authenicate in an endless loop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1755800/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
Re: [Bug 1755800] Re: Greeter/lockscreen fails to authenicate in an endless loop
Thanks. Your comments led me to look at swap. There is no swap!
I installed from iso image several weeks ago (I am traveling and had a
bad ecryptfs corruption, not sure how this happened, and needed to
reinstall, and had this on my memory stick for testing).
I selected encrypted and had an prexisting swap partition. The
installer made a 2GB swapfile (okay) but the ecryptfs swap did not get
configured correctly, so no swap. So there is some inconsistency with
the installer, clearly, that should be ironed out.
I made normal swap on both the swapfile and the swap partition, followed
by swapon -a. Now there is plenty of swap. I wonder if this is the
cause of the lockscreen behavior? Difficultly with swap.
I will observe. Any pointers on correctly configuring my ecryptfs swap
at this point? Thanks!!

Come to think of it, some code might be returning ENOSPC ("No space left
on device") for a RAM-based operation.
So please also check how much RAM your system has before and after the
problem (run 'free -m'), and check 'ps' to see if any process is
unusually large.

"No space left on device" is coming up way too often in your log. I can't explain that but it is still possibly relevant since a lot of things are failing with that message.

[Bug 1755800] Re: Greeter/lockscreen fails to authenicate in an endless loop
I'm still getting failures. This is with a fixed variety and no gnome- shell extensions other than the default ubuntu extensions. I don't see but reports similar to this, so I gather that others are not generally plagued by this problem. Nonetheless, I appreciate any advice or comment you have on what to do here. I'd like to contribute to improving Ubuntu, but at some point, I going to have to do something to make this stop just for my own sanity; having to reboot at random times so that I can log in to my laptop is really not a good thing.

Re: [Bug 1755800] Re: Greeter/lockscreen fails to authenicate in an endless loop
Thanks. That variety script was from an old version of variety, it seems. I removed that and checked that the current scripts in /usr/share/variety/scripts do not have that bug (looked like an operation on a shell variable that may not exist). I did notice a few variety crashes, but they do not seem to coincide with screenlock failure. I did have "clipboard indicator" and "media player indicator" enabled. Disabled those. Will see what happens. I can uninstall variety if I see more issues with that. On 03/19/2018 10:07 PM, Daniel van Vugt wrote: > Thanks. I can see two recurring issues that might be the cause: > > 1.

is not correct, and maybe not relevant.
