I should have said, everything seemed fine with local user access until today.
Today I did updates and installed vmware server, before I found I could no longer log in using a local account. Ubuntu 8.10/AMD64. Likewise Open was installed using the DEB from likewise rather than the repository version. Now I don't believe it is vmware that has caused the issue, more probably the updates I received. vmware is having its own issues of course due to a keyboard mapping issue in Ubuntu but this seems to be a known bug with a workaround that hopefully will work tomorrow when I am back at work. I have now got access to root by adding my domain users group to the sudoers file so I can manage. Everything was good in 8.04. I just needed to change to 64 bit... Let me know if you need more info and how to get it... -- likewise-open prevents local passwords from being changed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302026 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
