I am having this issue on a lucid x64 install upgraded from a properly working karmic. I have another lucid x64 clean install that does not have the issue.
the only information I have is this in my auth.log. can I enable some extended login somehow?

This also isn't failing intermittently, it fails every time, even when manually locking the screen. -- unix_chkpwd crashes on gnome-screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270781 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
