    Re: Existing password not working after 11.10 update

    Hi

    same issue. can also log in console
    It sound like a lightdm or pam issue maybe. Have you tried reconfiguring lightdm from the console ?

    Kind regards

    Hi

    From the console, try this.

    Code:
    sudo service stop lightdm
    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh lightdm
    Code:
    sudo service start lightdm
    Also, what's the output of

    Code:
    ls /etc/pam.d/
    Kind regards

    *After* upgrade?? My screen got locked *during* upgrade! The pass isn't accepted for some reason.

    Text console e.g. via Alt-CTRL-F1 let's me logging OK. I don't even know if upgrade has finished or no.
