Hello, now two nearly sleepless nights later I repaired the problem ! It has nothing to do with pam-authentication, but seems to be a problem of the graphics-driver ! First some hardware information: My computer is an Asus-mainboard with nforce-chipset and on-board Nvidia Geforce 6150-graphics. In my edgy-system I used the nvidia-driver which I had downloaded from Nvidia-website and compiled on my machine.
Upgrade to gutsy changed the xorg.conf file to a failsafe-version, which used the vesa-driver for graphics. With this vesa-driver the odd behavior with the authentificaton-failure occurred. I just changed back to my old (edgy)-xorg.conf file and edited line 118 and changed from nvidia to vesa-driver -- and with this file gdm worked without any authentification problems !! I was then able to use the proprietary-driver-install-function inside Ubuntu to load and install Nvidia-driver -- and now everything works fine. I attach some log-files to this message. Can anyone explain this strange behaviour ??
