Press and hold a key in the password field for some time At this point pressing Enter doesn't do anything, the user can't continue to remove the password, can't double click the password field to highlight (and remove) text. So it seems the only way out is to reboot or switch to a tty and restart lightdm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWMrAaxz-Rg ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: lightdm 1.1.9-0ubuntu1 Uname: Linux 3.3.0-030300rc5-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.95-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Mar 30 10:38:17 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha amd64 (20120203) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en TERM=linux PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/969023/+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
