[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1733557] Re: Login screen showing Authentication Failed Switch to greeter...
I'm seeing this also upon 17.10 upgrade in unity / lightdm / unity greeter. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, typically takes some time time to manifest (I only ever suspend my laptop from monday to friday), but once it starts happening, it always happens until I shut down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1733557 Title: Login screen showing Authentication Failed Switch to greeter...

Same as Eugene, the problem started popping up after upgrading Unity. When I lock my screen or wake from suspend, I get the described behaviour. As a temporary fix, is there a way to just skip that screen and always go to the greeter when locking the screen or suspending? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1733557 Title: Login screen showing Authentication Failed Switch to greeter...

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1733557] Re: Login screen showing Authentication Failed Switch to greeter...
Same on 16.04.3 after updating Unity to latest proposed packages. Also on 17.10 with installed unity-session. For me, this issue appears after switching to another user. Steps to reproduce (must be more than one local users on system, eg. "bob", "alice"): 1. Login under bob. 2. Via upper-right menu switch to "alice". 3. On greeter screen setect "alice", login under alice. 4. Logout, return to greeter screen. 5. Select bob (already logged in). Enter password. 6. Lock screen. Issue appeared.

My issues began shortly after upgrading from 16.10 -> 17.10. Most of my issues related to graphical components so perhaps it was related to the switch to Wayland? ...as for a fix - I ended up reformatting my machine with a fresh 17.10.
