Public bug reported: For some unknown reason, lightdm do not accept login when autofs is configured that way :
nas.home.autofs : /home /etc/auto.master.d/nas.home.folders --ghost,--timeout=600 nas.home.folders : * -fstype=cifs,uid=&,gid=&,file_mode=0640,dir_mode=0750,credentials=/etc/credentials.d/cre.&,iocharset=utf8 ://192.168.0.100/home.& but it works if mounted directory are manually specified : nas.home.autofs : /home /etc/auto.master.d/nas.home.folders --ghost,--timeout=600 nas.home.folders : My_account -fstype=cifs,uid=My_account,gid=My_account,file_mode=0640,dir_mode=0750,credentials=/etc/credentials.d/cre.My_account,iocharset=utf8 ://192.168.0.100/home.My_account I suppose this is due to the fact that in the 1st method, home directory where not created by autofs. It only create them when an attempt to access it is done. Please help to define trace and logs to analyse the reason. ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1529557 Title: lighttdm and autofs template rules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1529557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
