Update: Sorry I forgot: Ubuntu 15.10, lightdm 1.16.7
Still the same problem as 2016-02-25: Sometimes my keyboard starts sending the number '5', as if someone is holding down the key. It stops if I touch another key. If this happens while I'm away and the screen is locked, then I can't delete the password entry field or press enter to get an invalid password and start over. I can get a prompt via alt+ctrl+1 and sometimes it's enough to kill lightdm, and other times I must hold the power button down until the machine powers down, and make a cold boot. I know my keyboard is broken, but I don't think that it should kill the greeter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817186 Title: Entering a ridiculously long login/password crashes lightdm Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: TEST CASE: 1.
