Was the same problem. I can successfully login, but can't unlock session. Unlock dialog always reports the password is invalid.
The problem was in file permissions. I manually rewrote “/etc/shadow” from backup after partition restore. As result file permissions became: -rw-r----- root root but must be: -rw-r----- root shadow ... and unlock dialog didn't accept passwords. After some hours comparing with working system I understood my mistake, fix permissions and unlock dialog works fine. p.s. May be this post is unnecessary or isn't related to this bug. But first “googling” brings me to this thread and I didn't find any words about permissions here. May be this post will be useful for people with same problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
