Public bug reported: When you create an account with the graphical gnome UI, it does not ask for the user to enter a password. But if you log out and log back in to that account, lightdm DOES require a password to log in. If you do not enter a password for the account before you log out (which there is no prompt for whatsoever), you are fully unable to log in.
Also, there are option is the password section of the Gnome UI for account creation such as "ask for password on first log in", that are completely useless with lightdm and are VERY misleading to a new user. I tried to show a tech friend of mine Ubuntu, and he was almost instantly turned off my the lack of cohesion between the log in screen and creating users....which is kind of a no-brainer ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879949 Title: No unity between creating account and lightdm in Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/879949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
