[Bug 973993] Re: lightdm - can't log in - it hangs after entering password - Logging in
I just had the exact same issue as described by Marat above, including the same things in the logs. I don't think I did anything that should have triggered it: it successfully worked this morning, then I shut down and started it up again this evening and the problem occurred. A reboot didn't change anything. What I have done now to make it work is to start the guest session, and from there do a switch user and log in as myself. This time lightdm worked. In between it working and not working, I didn't apply any updates or anything like that. I haven't reconfigured lightdm in any way, aside from changing the default language and keyboard layout (but that was done a week ago, not today.) The background is the standard one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973993 Title: lightdm - can't log in - it hangs after entering password - Logging in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/973993/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 973993] Re: lightdm - can't log in - it hangs after entering password - Logging in
Fresh, standard install of Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing encrypted. The system was both installed and updated today. I enter a password and it says Logging in. It then stays like that. You can use the up and down arrow keys which seems to interrupt the login process, but also prevents you from typing anything into the password boxes. The only thing you can do is reboot the machine and try again. I went into a shell using Ctrl+Alt+F1. I then had a look at the /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log log file and the logging also appears to be stuck. The last thing I see is [+8.02s] DEBUG: Authenticate result for user mendhak: Success [+8.03s] DEBUG: User mendhak authorized I have attached my lightdm log file. Anything after the 8second mark is when I rebooted the machine. I also tried reinstalling the greeter and rebooting. sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-greeter sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm But this had no effect. Still could not log in. **WORKAROUND** I noticed that GDM lets you log in. sudo apt-get install gdm sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm Then from the options, select gdm and reboot the machine. ** Attachment added: LightDM log file https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/973993/+attachment/3113948/+files/lightdmlog.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973993 Title: lightdm - can't log in - it hangs after entering password - Logging in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/973993/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I did a bit more digging around. I had a look at the greeter log file.

It is trying to access it and failing. On a hunch, I went in and used one of the regular/supplied wallpapers that came with Ubuntu (right click Desktop, change desktop wallpaper). That worked! I then tried to set a custom wallpaper again after doing a chmod 0777 on the entire wallpaper directory. That still didn't work, the log file still mentions permission denied.
