I see the buggy behavior on three machines, all fresh installs between
Alpha 6 and Beta 1, and all updated on the same day to Beta 1.
I went through the bug at kde.org, and tested kcheckpass. I too fail:
rich...@laptop:/usr/lib/kde4/libexec$ ./kcheckpass
Password:
Authentication failure
rich...@laptop:/usr/lib/kde4/libexec$ tail -f /var/log/auth.log
Oct 5 08:39:16 laptop unix_chkpwd[3745]: check pass; user unknown
Oct 5 08:39:16 laptop unix_chkpwd[3745]: password check failed for user
(richard)
Oct 5 08:39:16 laptop kcheckpass[3741]: pam_unix(kde:auth): authentication
failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=/dev/pts/1 ruser= rhost= user=richard
Oct 5 08:39:16 laptop kcheckpass[3741]: Authentication failure for richard
(invoked by uid 1000)
^C
However, I just noticed that things are working on the kid's computer now. I
checked the versions of kdebase, and they are the same:
kdebase-workspace-bin 4:4.3.1-0ubuntu14
I haven't configured things any differently. Any suggestions on how to
identify what is going on?
Thanks for your help.
