Hello, Same problem here after doing an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04.
On the affected machine, some users (basically admins) have both unix accounts and LDAP accounts. Users with both accounts can log in with unix or ldap password. However, when the desktop is locked, the only way to unlock is to use a unix password. I've tried unix_chkpwd suid workaround (no success) and checked /etc/shadow file permissions (was ok). I'm using libpam-ldap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

It works fine. getent passwd and getent shadow works fine. I am able to login in console without any problems. I was able to login in lightdm. Then I used the lock screen. I could not disable the lock screen using my password. I rebooted my computer. Now: After logging in through lightdm, the unity lockscreen locks the screen immediately and I can not disable it using my password. From my short inspection of auth.log and unix_chkpwd sources it seems, that unix_chkpwd works fine when called from lightdm and fails to get user info when called from unity lockscreen. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 apt-cache policy unity lightdm libpam-modules unity: Installed: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status lightdm: Installed: 1.10.0-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 1.10.0-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 1.10.0-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status libpam-modules: Installed: 1.1.8-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1.1.8-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1.1.8-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Contents of /var/log/auth.log: Apr 29 06:49:27 localhost lightdm: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "user" Apr 29 06:49:31 localhost lightdm: pam_unix(lightdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:2 ruser= rhost= user=user Apr 29 06:49:31 localhost lightdm: pam_krb5(lightdm:auth): user user authenticated as user@NETWORK Apr 29 06:49:32 localhost lightdm[15604]: pam_unix(lightdm-greeter:session): session closed for user lightdm Apr 29 06:49:37 localhost unix_chkpwd[15825]: check pass; user unknown Apr 29 06:49:37 localhost unix_chkpwd[15825]: password check failed for user (user) Apr 29 06:49:37 localhost compiz: pam_unix(lightdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1001 euid=1001 tty= ruser= rhost= user=user Apr 29 06:49:37 localhost compiz: pam_krb5(lightdm:auth): user user authenticated as user@NETWORK Apr 29 06:49:37 localhost unix_chkpwd[15826]: could not obtain user info (user) Apr 29 06:49:37 localhost unix_chkpwd[15827]: could not obtain user info (user) Apr 29 06:49:37 localhost compiz: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "user" cat /etc/pam.d/common-auth account required pam_unix.so auth required pam_group.so auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok_secure auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_krb5.so try_first_pass minimum_uid=200 auth requisite pam_deny.so auth required pam_permit.so auth optional pam_afs_session.so minimum_uid=200 auth optional pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap auth optional pam_cap.so cat /etc/pam.d/common-account account required pam_unix.so cat /etc/pam.d/lightdm auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin @include common-auth auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so @include common-account session [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so close auth optional pam_group.so session required pam_limits.so @include common-session session [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so open session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start session required pam_env.so readenv=1 session required pam_env.so readenv=1 user_readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale @include common-password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1314095/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
