Actually, it's even weirder than that. I went through all this several times while trying to narrow down the repro steps, and it's all very bizarre. Somehow I managed to get gdm working again, and then in a logged in gdm session, I enabled fingerprint, and exited from pam-auth-update, then ran pam-auth-update again and disabled fingerprint and re-enabled register user sessions which had once again somehow magically gotten disabled, but then I ran pam-auth-update a third time and register user sessions was STILL disabled even though I'd just enabled it, and then when I rebooted GDM wouldn't work again. So at that point I logged in on a VT and ran pam- auth-update again and selected register user sessions again, and then just out of curiosity ran pam-auth-update again and this time register user sessions was still selected, so I exited and rebooted and GDM worked again.
There is something very bizarre going on here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817897 Title: attempting to enable fingerprint with pam-auth-update breaks gdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/1817897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
