Please, be rigorous when performing tests. This bug is about logging in from GDM, not form the fast-user-switch-applet. They can perfectly use different policy files in /etc/pam.d, so they need to be treated separately. And i don't see how this could be related to your kernel version (securettys?).
I'm reopening this bug waiting for somebody to test this in Karmic. And BTW, as I said, the upstream bug has nothing to do with the current problem, so I'm removing the link. ** Changed in: gdm Importance: Unknown => Undecided ** Changed in: gdm Status: Fix Released => New ** Changed in: gdm Remote watch: GNOME Bug Tracker #414862 => None -- users with no password can't log in with gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
