Experienced this problem on a machine after upgrading from 12.04 to
14.04. I compared my /etc/pam.d contents to a freshly installed 14.04
system. sudo pam-auth-update --force corrected most of the
differences. Also uninstalled the libpam-ck-connector package (which
seems to be not needed?).
Cleaned up /etc/pam.d and used sudo pam-auth-update and sudo pam-
auth-update --force to autofix thing. I found I had an extra likewise
PAM profile in /usr/share/pam-configs/.
Nothing worked.
Finally, I retried a previous solution:
