Hello,
I also faced that issue and that is a very annoying problem because we are a
company and we use LDAP authentication and home directories are mounted via
NFS. Most of the machines still runs on 10.04 and only a few have 12.04.
The problem occurs only with 12.04. It happens with lightdm
Good morning,
With GDM, I tried to add silent in the line pam_mkhomedir, and the problem
remains the same.
So I compared the files login and gdm in the /etc/pam.d dir.
I found a difference : in gdm there is two lines that calls
pam_gnome_keyring.so.
By putting the first (the one is used before
I can confirm that the fix works for us as well. Thanks!

pam_mkhomedir.so fails to create homedir in precise
To manage notifications
What is happening is pam_mkhomedir is continuing the PAM conversation
and generating an informational message Creating directory '%s'.
LightDM is incorrectly assuming the PAM conversation has completed by
this point and doesn't respond to this message.
As a workaround you can set pam_mkhomedir to

I think I can be a bit more precise than #15; the break occurs at
lightdm version 1.1.6-0ubuntu1 - at least on my 64bit VM. As far as my
tests show, the last version of lightdm to work is
1.1.4.is.1.1.3-0ubuntu3.
That is, if I have an up-to-date precise VM (including lightdm 1.1.9)
and I
I can confirm the problem in precise. Note that lightdm doesn't drop
privileges until after pam_open_session so this should work.

Same problem here:
lightdm hangs immediately after entering the password and displays a black
screen.
After killing lightdm I can see that the home directory was not created.
Instead this works well when using GDM or a console login.
The bug can be reproduced in this way for a local user: just
We rely on pam_mkhomedir. We're using it with the standard options.
It used to work fine on lightdm, but as of recently, it doesn't.
It works fine with ssh.
This is crucial for us.

The documentation for pam_open_session says, It should be noted that
the effective uid, geteuid(2). of the application should be of
sufficient privilege to perform such tasks as creating or mounting the
user's home directory for example.
AFAICT, this is contrary to Steve Langasek's assertion that
I managed to narrow the problem to the lightdm package by using lightdm
from oneiric on a precise machine and it seems to work there.

The state of pam_mkhomdir in other distros:
- ubuntu 10.04 gdm/gnome works
- ubuntu 11.10 lightdm/unity - works
- debian squeeze 6 gdm/gnome - works
- debian testing (wheezy) gdm/gnome - works
- ubuntu 12.04 b1 - lightdm/unity *** doesn't work
- ubuntu 12.04 b1 - gdm/unity *** doesn't work
-
Well, still this is inconsistent - when logging in from tty1 the homedir
gets created without any modifications in Precise.
Do you really intend to break the current pam_mkhomedir? AFAIK it's used
by most of LDAP and NIS instances.

chmod u+s /sbin/mkhomedir_helper does not solve the problem for me...
I still get the black screen when I login to Precise and the home
directory is missing.
The same pam_mkhomedir.so line in /etc/pam.d/common-session on a Lucid
machine works without any problem.
This will cause major problems

No, as I said I don't know how it was working for you *before* this
either.

What do you mean by that? Should I use some other pam section for
pam_mkhomedir? Or you mean that pam_mkhomedir doesn't make sense at all?
If common_session is run as the user, then why does it *still* work in
text mode?

I checked again and the manpage for it shows it should be in the session
modules. See examples in
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/pam_mkhomedir.8.html
You are puzzling me.

In recent versions there's an /sbin/mkhomedir_helper that's supposed to
do the directory creation work; but the manpage indicates that it exists
in support of selinux rather than for this issue. You *may* be able to
work around the problem locally by running 'sudo chmod u+s
Session modules are normally invoked after the application has changed
uids to that of the target user. Frankly, I don't know how
pam_mkhomedir would have worked *prior* to precise either.
