In my case, I think I probably broke the configuration myself at some point. My current Hardy machine has been upgraded from Gutsy which was upgraded from Feisty, and at some point along the way I set a root password, and then later deleted it using 'sudo passwd -d root', which is probably what scr

I had the same problem. In my case, I discovered that it was due to a null password : I created a guest account and configured gdm so that passwod ios not required for this account. In order to be coherent I deleted the password with 'passwd -d guest'. This creates a 'null' password that causes th

I can confirm this, too. What was really annoying, was that I had just added a dozen students to the Edubuntu server, and then poof... gone. What is weird is that I did notice that it created unique groups for each user (I had not assigned them to a single group). But no entries were created in pas

Pedro, I've attached the output of test-backends on to the upstream bug report (and here too). Although all my symptoms are the same, the original reporter upstream has users without valid shells, which isn't the case with me (or it doesn't seem so). He is reporting that adding a valid shell fixes

Thanks for your report, that works fine for me, Can you try to recreate the same with another user with required rights to create users? It seems tha there's something broken with your configuration, btw is this an upgraded machine or a fresh hardy installation? thanks. ** Changed in: gnome-system
