I’m getting a lot of pam failures due to fingerprints in my logs: févr. 12 08:21:51 casanier gdm-password][6277]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:51 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6278]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user févr. 12 08:21:51 casanier gdm-password][6283]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:51 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6284]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-password][6289]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6290]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-password][6360]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6361]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-password][6366]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6367]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-password][6372]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6373]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-password][6378]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:52 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6379]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user févr. 12 08:21:53 casanier gdm-password][6384]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:53 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6385]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user févr. 12 08:21:53 casanier gdm-password][6390]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:53 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6391]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user févr. 12 08:21:53 casanier gdm-password][6396]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type févr. 12 08:21:53 casanier gdm-fingerprint][6397]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user
Before getting into that state, I got very few in my logs, and after reverting my system globally, I don’t have those when logging in. I think this is the cause of the password prompt emptying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915570 Title: Login screen password entry not working on systems with fingerprint support Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This bug is for the login package. This only affects users of the development release and does not affect stable users. The bug in the password entry causes either the password to be entered only for the login to hang, or when attempting to enter the password, the computer quickly deletes any characters entered as if backspace was being held therefore preventing a user from being able to log in. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu57 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-02-12 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" - Alpha amd64 (20210212) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: gdm3 3.38.1-2ubuntu1.1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.10.0-14.15-generic 5.10.11 Tags: hirsute Uname: Linux 5.10.0-14-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True mtime.conffile..etc.gdm3.custom.conf: 2021-02-12T13:25:57.150125 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1915570/+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
