Comment 4 Asha Akkiangady 2011-11-02 15:11:13 UTC
When a smart card with insufficient credential to login is inserted, the error message "Insufficient credential to access authentication data" is also displayed momentarily.

Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-11-02 15:31:53 UTC
What version of GDM?

This is probably a side effect of the fix for bug 708430

Comment 6 Asha Akkiangady 2011-11-02 16:07:54 UTC
gdm-2.30.4-32.el6.x86_64

Comment 7 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-11-02 16:19:53 UTC
okay, and if you downgrade to gdm-2.30.4-29.el6 the problem goes away right?

It's sort of hard, bug 708430 wants the messages cleared, this bug wants them to stick around.

I guess we can clear error messages and make info messages stick around or so.
