Hello,
I also faced that issue and that is a very annoying problem because we are a
company and we use LDAP authentication and home directories are mounted via
NFS. Most of the machines still runs on 10.04 and only a few have 12.04.
The problem occurs only with 12.04. It happens with lightdm
Good morning,
With GDM, I tried to add silent in the line pam_mkhomedir, and the problem
remains the same.
So I compared the files login and gdm in the /etc/pam.d dir.
I found a difference : in gdm there is two lines that calls
pam_gnome_keyring.so.
By putting the first (the one is used before
I can confirm that the fix works for us as well. Thanks!

What is happening is pam_mkhomedir is continuing the PAM conversation
and generating an informational message Creating directory '%s'.
LightDM is incorrectly assuming the PAM conversation has completed by
this point and doesn't respond to this message.
As a workaround you can set pam_mkhomedir to

I think I can be a bit more precise than #15; the break occurs at
lightdm version 1.1.6-0ubuntu1 - at least on my 64bit VM. As far as my
tests show, the last version of lightdm to work is
1.1.4.is.1.1.3-0ubuntu3.
That is, if I have an up-to-date precise VM (including lightdm 1.1.9)
and I
I can confirm the problem in precise. Note that lightdm doesn't drop
privileges until after pam_open_session so this should work.

Same problem here:
lightdm hangs immediately after entering the password and displays a black
screen.
After killing lightdm I can see that the home directory was not created.
Instead this works well when using GDM or a console login.
The bug can be reproduced in this way for a local user: just
We rely on pam_mkhomedir. We're using it with the standard options.
It used to work fine on lightdm, but as of recently, it doesn't.
It works fine with ssh.
This is crucial for us.

The documentation for pam_open_session says, It should be noted that
the effective uid, geteuid(2). of the application should be of
sufficient privilege to perform such tasks as creating or mounting the
user's home directory for example.
AFAICT, this is contrary to Steve Langasek's assertion that
I managed to narrow the problem to the lightdm package by using lightdm
from oneiric on a precise machine and it seems to work there.

I haven't had any luck getting pam_mkhomedir to work with gdm or lightdm
installed
I have attempted to login to both gnome-shell and unity with no luck
