Haven't seen this problem for a while and just tested on 14.04: Seems it has been fixed somewhere in the last two years. So I guess this bug report could be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

aldebx, by restricting the directive in pam_mount.xml to a specific user workaround you mean sudo, as for sudoedit there is no workaround? Or does sudoedit behave normally for you after editing just pam_mount.xml? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

@ Moritz - Thank you for your insightful debugging of this issue. As you anticipated, I confirm that restricting the directive in pam_mount.xml to a specific user (user=USERNAME) is a valid workaround. I also would like to add that my suggested workaround (i.e. commenting out @pam-mount in

Thanks Moritz for debugging, I believe that you are correct. Especially as my /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml contains instructions only for the user, not root, I did not get any trouble with sudo. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

Hi, I'm affected too and would like to provide some additional information: I suspect this bug is not caused by _how often_ pam_mount is called but rather a mixup of the user it is run under. When running sudoedit, before the editor component is started, pam_mount always tries to mount the

Just checked sudo's behavior regarding the login count. It consistently uses the user root before and after the given command: [BEGIN OF LOG] [sudo] password for USER: pam_mount(pam_mount.c:364): pam_mount 2.10: entering auth stage pam_mount(pam_mount.c:553): pam_mount 2.10: entering session

As reported by Stewart Prescott [1], this error is triggered when the system invokes pam-mount twice, which means that pam-mount tries to mount the volume twice as a result and the second time fails because the mount point is not empty. Currently, this seems to be a bug of the default packaging
