Good morning, With GDM, I tried to add silent in the line pam_mkhomedir, and the problem remains the same. So I compared the files login and gdm in the /etc/pam.d dir. I found a difference : in gdm there is two lines that calls pam_gnome_keyring.so. By putting the first (the one is used before the call to pam_mk_home_dir) in comment, the problem disappears. I have not tried with lightdm but the pam.d files lightdm and gdm are identical, so it is likely that the results are the same Sincerely JPZ

I found it initially in an LDAP-based setup, but to nail down the problem I did a fresh re-install, added: session optional pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0077 skel=/etc/skel to /etc/pam.d/common-session and I removed the home directory of the user used during installation, so the bug has nothing to do with network auth. Anyway - when I login to lightdm I am successfully authenticated and the logon screen disappears, but I am presented with a black screen and nothing happens. I can login from text mode, the homedir is created and afterwards I can login, even using the graphical interface. I tried to see if this is related to lightdm or unity, but if I select Gnome classic, I get the same problem, if I switch to GDM, the problem remains. I am attaching the logs from lightdm. The syslog says: Mar 16 10:31:45 tubuntu kernel: [99829.342230] accounts-daemon[2152]: segfault at 10 ip b76c86c3 sp bfab7640 error 4 in libdbus-1.so.3.5.8[b76a3000+47000] Mar 16 10:31:45 tubuntu kernel: [99829.342545] gdm-session-wor[29440]: segfault at 6e756279 ip b743cd4c sp bf84b250 error 4 in libc-2.15.so[b73ca000+19e000] but I cannot say if this caused the issue or was caused by the issue. I hope somebody can have a look at this. I can help to do some investigating, unfortunately I don't know where to look.
