Public bug reported:
When authenticating against an Active Directory using PowerBroker open
(former likewise) and lightdm, /etc/skel is not copied in KUbuntu, but
there is no problen in Ubuntu, even following the same steps.
This is happening in KUbuntu, but not in Ubuntu, so I suppose the bug is
due to some configuration files in it.
Steps to reproduce:
* Install KUbuntu
* Install samba, cifs-utils, smbclient, ssh
* Install PowerBroker open
* Edit "/etc/samba/smb.conf" to match your domain (workgroup =
yourdomain) and restart samba
* Join the domain:
sudo domainjoin-cli join fqdn.domain [email protected]
sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config AssumeDefaultDomain true
sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config UserDomainPrefix domain
sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config LoginShellTemplate /bin/bash
* Edit /usr/share/pam-configs/pbis and change:
sufficient pam_lsass.so
to:
[success=ok default=ignore] pam_lsass.so
* Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
to:
hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4
* sudo /opt/pbis/bin/lwsm restart lwio
* Create the file /usr/share/pam-configs/my_mkhomedir:
Name: activate mkhomedir
Default: yes
Priority: 900
Session-Type: Additional
Session:
required
pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 skel=/etc/skel
* sudo pam-auth-update
* Edit the lightdm greeter config to allow manual login:
- In Ubuntu: 50-unity-greeter.conf
- In KUbuntu: 40-lightdm-kde-greeter.conf
allow-guest=false
user-session=kde-plasma
greeter-show-remote-login=false
greeter-show-manual-login=true
* If using KUbuntu, edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter.conf (not needed in
Ubuntu)
[greeter]
theme-name=classic
* Create some contents in /etc/skel
* Reboot
* Login with an AD user.
If Ubuntu is used, /etc/skel files are copied to the user profile for
the domain users, whether GUI or console login is used. If the distro is
KUbuntu, the files are copied for console logins, but not with GUI.
