When you join a domain, likewise-open makes changes to the following files (making in-place backups with an .lwidentity.orig suffix): /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/ssh_config /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/hosts /etc/krb5.conf /etc/security/pam_lwidentity.conf /etc/pam.d/common-account /etc/pam.d/common-auth /etc/pam.d/common-password /etc/pam.d/common-session
The disruptive changes (the /etc/pam.d/ and nsswitch.conf files) are reverted when you leave a domain (using "domainjoin leave" command or the Leave option of the GUI). You can then uninstall the package and you can still login to the system. If you uninstall likewise-open while those system files are still configured to use it (i.e. you're still in the domain), it's like if you uninstalled pam : the system will indeed be mostly unusable. The workaround is the one described by Froza. Uninstalling should not be possible with a domain still joined ? -- Likewise uninstall, Lock login to system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230466 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
