Version: 3.8.4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading my SID by doing an aptitude safe-upgrade, all the gnome
components that are password-based ceased to work, including gdm3's password
field, evolutions's and seahorse's.
In practice: at log-in time, I select my user account and am asked to enter my
password. I enter the password, then click "log in". That log-in button turns
greyer, and nothing else happens. I can still click in the top menu bar to see
how much battery is left, or I can click "cancel", in which case I'm back at the
user selection part of the login page.
Now, if I log in manually (kill gdm, startx) and lauch evolution, it will say I
didn't unlock the keyring, and prompts for my password. Again, clicking "unlock"
leaves me with the only choice to click cancel.
The same problem happens if I ask seahorse to unlock my keyring.
Besides that, I can use xdm, sudo, and other non-gnome password-prompting tools
without problem.
I have tried reinstalling gnome-{shell,session,core,keyring} without any luck. I
also tried commenting gnome-keyring related entries in /etc/pam.d/* without luck
either.
I do not know how to investigate better the issue and figure out where the
problem lies (maybe the password prompt tries to connect to a daemon that's not
running, and blocks on it? Maybe it tries to read a file it doesn't have rights
to access?).
I filed a bug report for gnome as well
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725707 but they suggested I report to
Debian instead, and so far haven't helped me investigate better the issue.
Cheers,
P!
