After upgrading to the latest packages from updates-testing today, i can no longer sign in, using the userlist in GDM. I can select the username and enter the password, but when clicking on Sign In, nothing happens. I have to choose 'not-listed' and enter my username manually. gdm-3.2.0-2.fc16.x86_64 Besides that, language settings are now ignored and always fall back to English.
I think I can reproduce this---at least part of it. gdm-3.2.0-2.fc16-i686 For me, I can log in the first time but then gnome-shell gives the "oh no, ..., logout" black screen (I'm trying to track down this bug separately.) When I click logout, I'm returned to the GDM screen. I can then select a user, type in the password but neither Enter nor clicking "sign in" work (the button animates a click but nothing happens, the password field is still filled in). Clicking "cancel" returns me to the list of users. I haven't tried "not-listed" so can't confirm that. Nor can I confirm the ignoring of language settings.
It only seems to occur if a fingerprint reader is present.
Sorry, have to revert this. It also occurred on systems without fingerprint readers. The issue seems to be fixed by: gnome-settings-daemon-3.2.1-1.fc16
I've seen this issue a couple of times and can confirm the mentioned update is a valid fix: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-14510 Blocking F16Blocker; proposing as a blocker because this clearly breaks the desktop login test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_login
May be a dupe of 740625?

Hmmm, well I still observe this issue with > Installed Packages > gnome-settings-daemon.i686 3.2.1-1.fc16 @updates-testing
colin, your bug does not appear to be the same thing. please file it separately.
Maybe so, but this update seems to have fixed it. I won't bother opening a new bug, unless I see it again. =========================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size =========================================================================================================================== Installing: gdm i686 1:3.2.1.1-1.fc16 fedora 1.1 M replacing gdm-plugin-fingerprint.i686 1:3.2.0-2.fc16
