The log in appears to be successful, the screen blinks, and then the log in screen returns. Users should be able to log in via lightdm in a root- squashed environment without requiring the execute bit set for everyone on the home directory. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 $ apt-cache policy lightdm lightdm: Installed: 1.0.1-0ubuntu6 Candidate: 1.0.1-0ubuntu6 Version table: *** 1.0.1-0ubuntu6 0 500 http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ==> /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log <== [+4245.45s] DEBUG: Opened ConsoleKit session 45a196b38946d744fc2450aa0000038d-1320380637.865888-1199086430 [+4245.45s] DEBUG: Dropping privileges to uid 11248 [+4245.45s] DEBUG: Adding session authority to /u/jesusaur/.Xauthority [+4245.47s] DEBUG: Restoring privileges [+4245.47s] DEBUG: Launching process 10563: /usr/sbin/lightdm-session 'gnome-session --session=ubuntu' [+4245.47s] WARNING: Failed to change to home directory /u/jesusaur: Permission denied [+4245.48s] DEBUG: Registering session with bus path /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session11 [+4245.48s] DEBUG: Process 10563 exited with return value 1 ==> /var/log/auth.log <== Nov 3 21:23:57 sizeof lightdm: pam_unix(lightdm:session): session closed for user jesusaur To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/885984/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
