Bug#440096: KDM/GDM/XDM - unable to log in
Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.7-2+b1
As the following applies to GDM and XDM also the package that I'm
reporting might be wrong but I don't know a better package to report
this against.
I'm running Debian unstable and I'm unable to log in from the KDM
after a dist-upgrade (has happened to 2 PC's already).
When I type in my username and password i get "Login Failed". I check
/var/log/auth.log and see:
Aug 28 21:27:34 black kdm: :0[8423]: pam_unix(kdm:auth):
authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost=
user=myusername
Aug 28 21:29:19 black kdm: :0[8647]: pam_unix(kdm:auth): check pass;
user unknown
So the log has only got my user=myusername correct. As uid is 0 then i
guess no wonder he cannot find the user myusername with that uid.
I've --reinstalled kdm, libpam-modules, libpam-runtime, libpam0g. I've
also checked that I'm not missing anything from xorg or kde by trying
to install the metapackages xorg and kde. Have not found anything
missing.
Other versions that might be of interest:
ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-2
ii libpam-runtime 0.99.7.1-2
ii libpam-modules 0.99.7.1-2
