Public bug reported: I unintentionally changed permissions of the files in root directory. Hence I'm seeing login issues.
I'm Unable to login from 'ctrl+alt+l' or Screen lock after normal 'Power Save'. On entering the correct password the machine fails to unlock. I Need to click 'Switch User' & then the screen takes to main login screen, where on entering the password, the login succeeds lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Release: 12.04 apt-cache policy Package files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages release v=12.04,o=LP-PPA-nilarimogard-webupd8,a=precise,n=precise,l=WebUpd8,c=main origin ppa.launchpad.net 500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise/partner i386 Packages release v=12.04,o=Canonical,a=precise,n=precise,l=Partner archive,c=partner origin archive.canonical.com etc...
