I think I can be a bit more precise than #15; the break occurs at lightdm version 1.1.6-0ubuntu1 - at least on my 64bit VM. As far as my tests show, the last version of lightdm to work is 1.1.4.is.1.1.3-0ubuntu3.
That is, if I have an up-to-date precise VM (including lightdm 1.1.9) and I uninstall lightdm, then install version 1.1.4.is.1.1.3-0ubuntu3, I can set up LDAP authentication and everything works just fine. If I repeat the test, but use anything newer (1.1.6-0ubuntu1 and newer), I experience the same issue as OP - blank screen, with responsive cursor, no homedir created. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956848 Title: pam_mkhomedir.so fails to create homedir in precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/956848/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
