Lucid amd64 20091222.1 iso booted via grub loopback from hd was the first iso where I was presented with a login screen but could not login. 20091221 was the last iso with which I was able to get to the desktop just fine.
Based on this report I have now tried to add a new user via useradd on the console. The new user got uid 1000 and was able to login. The user ubuntu had uid 999. Seems like this could be the same bug. I am however also wondering about bug 495304 because after adding my user the login also automatically presented a list which it had not done before. -- can't connect user with low UID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498534 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
