Additional info: if I do a software update which results in me having to restart Ubuntu after the update, the bug is temporarily fixed.
What happens is that, following the restart, I can now type straight into the password field on the unity-greeter screen without having to use the mouse workaround described in Comment #6. However, this 'fix' only happens once: the next time I have to log in, I can only type into the password field using my mouse click workaround. This temporary fix has occurred more than once, so it's not just random. What is it about a Ubuntu software update that causes this bug in unity- greeter to be temporarily fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1261818 Title: Can't type user password in lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1261818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
