something strange happened. i switched the display manager to KDM (dpkg -configure) after a reboot and logging in using KDM it started to ask all kinds of passwords for unlocking keyrings etc. so I concluded that wasn't a huge success so I switched it back to lightdm and strangely the bug vanished....
so i'll mark it as invalid... ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993799 Title: lightdm freezes when logging in with password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/993799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
