login fails with gdm
Last modified: 2019-08-19 01:06:57 UTC
Gdm won't accept my password. This happens seemingly randomly on a fresh boot. I think this started within the last 2-3 snapshots. CTRL+Alt+F1 then CTRL+Alt+F2 seems to solve the problem. VERSION_ID="20190730" 5.2.3-1-default I'll do a zypper dup and report back if this continues. --- Here's the seemingly relevant information from journalctl Aug 08 13:47:50 tumbleweed-hn gdm-password][1859]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty7 ruser= rhost= Aug 08 13:47:50 tumbleweed-hn gdm-password][1859]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): check pass; user unknown Aug 08 13:47:37 tumbleweed-hn gdm-password][1859]: gkr-pam: error looking up user information Aug 08 13:47:37 tumbleweed-hn gdm-password][1859]: accountsservice: ActUserManager: user (null) has no username (uid: -1) Aug 08 13:47:33 tumbleweed-hn gdm-password][1855]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty7 ruser= rhost= Aug 08 13:47:33 tumbleweed-hn gdm-password][1855]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): check pass; user unknown Aug 08 13:47:22 tumbleweed-hn gdm-password][1855]: gkr-pam: error looking up user information Aug 08 13:47:22 tumbleweed-hn gdm-password][1855]: accountsservice: ActUserManager: user (null) has no username (uid: -1) Aug 08 13:47:22 tumbleweed-hn gnome-shell[1485]: ActUserManager: user (null) has no username (uid: -1) ---
I meant "CTRL+Alt+F1 then CTRL+Alt+F7 seems to solve the problem."
When issue happens, it's better to attach the full journal log by command 'journalctl -b'.
The update might have solved the problem. It has not happened in the last week.
Hi ravas, Thank you for the report and confirmation, I am closing it by now. Please feel free to reopen when the issue appears again.
