Yeah it looks like the group issue is here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745675 stems from the glibc
update. It all just came together at a funny time. Bummer about the
power off icon, mine continues to show up.

Thank you. I must have missed the discussion.

This is a known bug in glibc, which will, hopefully, be fixed quickly.
Otherwise, you can downgrade glibc.  Not sure about the bugzilla number,
it's mentioned on Fedora Forums in the F16 section.

The bug (as well as several duplicates) has been filed.  Apparently the
glibc upgrade broke groups.  This also broke sound for me as I was no
longer in the audio group.

So this might give you an insight: I just did an install from RC4 and my 
user was in the sudo group. Then a yum update and tada: no more. I mean 
using sudo just tells me my user is not in the sudo group.

Among the changes between RC4 and yum update until today I saw the power 
off menu disappearing again (I am very sad about that one, I thought we 
understand users wanted it badly) and online accounts time out was fixed 
(couldn't get the google page from RC4, can now).

I'll check if there is a bug filed for the sudo group thingy and for the 
power off option... well we all know about it so I will just pray while 
burning 2/3 Windows installed PCs as a worthy sacrifice ;-)

Working hard to lock myself out of my system

2011-10-13 Thread Erinn Looney-Triggs
A number of interesting things broke/fixed themselves today in F16. But
first a bit of history.

GDM has not been working for me for a couple of weeks at this point,
about 70% of the time I can't login when clicking on my user name (after
entering my password I will hit enter and nothing happens), about 30% of
the time I can. I can always login using the "Not listed?" option and
manually entering/selecting.

On a whim today, I started wondering if the fingerprint reader had
anything to do with the problem. I mean, most folks aren't experiencing
this problem, most folks don't have fingerprint readers, so hey maybe. I
went into GNOME and enrolled my fingerprint. Well sweet deal, I was now
able to login via GDM 100% of the time, either by entering my password,
or by using my fingerprint. Only problem is, if I use my password to
login, I get kicked out after about 30 seconds, everything resets and I
am back to GDM (this is in KDE I haven't tried GNOME, maybe the
experience is different). With my fingerprint things are fine and the
desktop remains up.

So I go in with my fingerprint to see what is happening, and I run a
sudo command (really slick the fingerprint auth with sudo, kudos),
trouble is it tells me I am not in the sudoers file. Well that is odd it
used to work. My sudoers is based off of group membership, a member in
wheel gets sudo access if not then no.

My sudoers:
%wheel  ALL=(ALL)   ALL

My group file:
erinn@thin-mint ~ $ getent group wheel
wheel:x:10:erinn

My id:
erinn@thin-mint ~ $ id
uid=1000(erinn) gid=1000(erinn) groups=1000(erinn)
context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

Very strange, I don't pretend to understand all of this dual stack PAM
stuff (or even single stack PAM for that matter), but it looks like
there are definitely some issues in there (at a guess). Those issues may
or may not be related, I am unsure at this point.

I am going to file a couple of bug reports, but the above is just for
folks information. Also let me know if you have any ideas.

-Erinn
