Public bug reported:
I have upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and just noticed that I can not log
in on a tty. I can enter my username and when I press enter it waits for
a moment and then goes straight back to the username prompt without ever
asking for my password.
Looking in /var/log/auth.log it seems this is caused by some kind of
permissions problem:
May 12 15:13:16 capcom getty[2774]: checkname: Operation not permitted
My groups:
~> groups rakete
rakete : rakete adm dialout cdrom audio video plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
and:
~> ls /dev/tty* -la
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 May 12 15:11 /dev/tty
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 0 May 12 15:11 /dev/tty0
crw-rw---- 1 root tty 4, 1 May 12 15:13 /dev/tty1
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 10 May 12 15:11 /dev/tty10
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 11 May 12 15:11 /dev/tty11

crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 13 May 12 15:11 /dev/tty13
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 14 May 12 15:11 /dev/tty14

crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 16 May 12 15:11 /dev/tty16
[...]
Any suggestions how to fix this would be very welcome!
