I have the same symptoms. No user names > 8 characters. No non-alpha characters in user names. No non-alpha characters in passwords (yeah I know, home PC). No password >8 characters.
Still, cannot log on certain users (2), but can others (other 2). I get the error or warning gdm-simple-greeter[32458]: WARNING: Unable to lookup user name data: Success This might be introduced relatively recent (about 2-4 weeks) since these users rarely logged on. They are now locked out - I don't know why that can be. -- Network users with longer than 8 character usernames do not show up in user list (possible fix included) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
