I noticed the same described behaviour with my 8 character password: When my session starts (automatic login) gnome-keyring asks me to enter a password to unlock network-manager WEP key. After having inserted my password, if i confirm it hitting the ENTER button GDM and (and X) crashes and I have to login again.
I noticed that this happens only the first time I login after a normal startup process. After the first crash and the second login, nothing strange happens anymore. I also noticed that if I don't hit the ENTER button (and i use the "ok" button clicking with the mouse) GDM doesn't crash immediatly but it waits until the key ENTER is pressed. (I opened the chromium web browser, i typed an URL address and i hit ENTER to confirm... and GDM crashed). I hope this description will be in someways useful -- Passwords longer than 8 characters crash GDM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528765 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
