Thanks Steve. You helped me fix the problem nicely.
run pam-auth-update --force did not work for me either, but i just did
the update anyway, and received the new package. Thanks for the good
work and trouble shooting. The Ubuntu community is why i switched to
using Linux. That and the fact that
I've edited the common-session file, and got the updates installed. It
all works fine.
BUT - it seems to me I should be able to revert to the original common-
session file and not get the Authentification failed error. Doesn't work
that way - putting the pam_deny.so line back into
Seconded, I'd also be happy to see what common-session is supposed to
look now, as following Steve's instructions had the same effect as for
Stephen above. I am not sure anymore whether I ended up with a good
file, and my /usr/share/pam/common-session looks slightly different from
my
Mario - thanks for the pointer - those are presumably spare copies of
the working files in /etc/pam.d/
But you're right - the common-session file in the /usr/share/pam set
doesn't have the pam-deny.so line - it has pam-permit.so instead. I
checked the common-auth files in /etc/pam.d/ and
cp: cannot stat `/etc/pam.d/common-session': No such file or directory
This is a cosmetic error only, which I'll fix in the next version.
Copying /usr/share/pam/common-session to /etc/pam.d/common-session is
/not/ correct, and will also give you authentication errors. The file
in /usr/share/pam
thanks for the clarification, Steve. I won't try running with the copy
in /usr/share/pam/!

This bug has been fixed in the upload of pam 1.0.1-3ubuntu2. Changelog
is:
pam (1.0.1-3ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=high
.
* debian/local/common-session: the session stack needs to be handled the
same way as the password stack, with the possibility of zero primary
modules; required
downgrading the packages will not help, the old packages don't know how
to roll back this change and downgrading will break the upgrade check
that's been added in the just-uploaded fixed version.
This is an architecture-independent bug, both 64-bit and 32-bit users
will have the same problem.

russofris (Frank), I am on 32 bits. Thanks Steve for providing a quick
fix, now if only I would be able to apply it (I am logged out of my
system, although I have a LiveCD available for emergency work)

Dan,
To recover, you have 2 options..
1: Recovery console
2: Chroot from the loveCD (see above)
After that, it should be the normal update/upgrade process.
Steve,
thanx much for the quick turnaround.

Thanks Frank,
I modified the file seen in the Stefano's script /etc/pam.d/common-
session on my harddisk, booting from the livecd.
I'll have in mind the chroot method for the future.
Thanks again,

I used the recovery thing and chose to have a root terminal, yet I get
no internet access from the terminal, if I try to ping something its
unable to resolve the host, so I can't seem to find a way to do an APT
upgrade.

Just installed updates. 10:00 pm MST 08/21/08
My system keeps saying authentication failure at gdm login screen. This
practically hosed the system.
I do not understand the workarounds. My system is 32 bit pretty sure. I
really hope a fixed package is in the works, but i need to know how to
fix
Jeremy,
If you can run the script that I've provided at
http://people.ubuntu.com/~vorlon/meh, this will fix the problem so
that you can again log in and continue the upgrade.
Alternatively, from a rescue session you can simply replace pam_deny with
pam_permit in /etc/pam.d/common-session,
Thanks, I think I got it going now. I don't remember what I was told to
do, but it was something about pam_allow.so or something similar,
sorry I lost the page.
Thanks to all, and thanks to all the developers on how great Intrepid is
so far even with the occasional hiccup.
Steve Langasek
