The Devil Is A Squirrel : I have found a workaround for that bug, can you confirm if you can login as root if you follow these steps? :
1. Open Users And Groups menu 2. Go to "Login Window Preferences" > Tab "Security" and check the "Allow local system administrator login" box. 3. Type this on a terminal to change your root password : sudo passwd root 4. Once you typed your new password, you can logout and try to login with root account with Gnome -- [Hardy] Can't unlock root account https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180430 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
