Bug description:
The Live session user does not have a password set, however gdm won't
allow login in this case since the "Sign In" button is disabled.
Normally this should be too much of an issue, since the login screen
should only be hit on logout from the live session, some people are
reporting hitting the gdm login screen on boot due to ubiquity-dm
failing to boot.
