Calling "reload" for kdm is not a complete fix, because kdm does not re- exec itself in response to a reload command; this papers over the problem of kdm unexpectedly restarting during upgrade, but leaves unaddressed the root reason for the restart - that after upgrading the PAM modules, users will no longer be able to log in via kdm until it's restarted.
Suggested patch (merge from Debian unstable) to follow. ** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- pam upgrade restarts kdm without warning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139065 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
