Looks like a gdm (configuration?) failure, re-assigning I agree that this looks like a gdm issue. Is there any further information I can provide? # rpm -qa | grep -i gdm gdm-libs-3.8.3-2.fc19.i686 gdm-3.8.3-2.fc19.i686 pulseaudio-gdm-hooks-3.0-10.fc19.i686 Tonight there was an update to gdm. I am now running: [root@mrtg ~]# rpm -qa | grep gdm gdm-3.8.4-2.fc19.i686 gdm-libs-3.8.4-2.fc19.i686 pulseaudio-gdm-hooks-3.0-10.fc19.i686 However, the problem persists!! On a client, I run vncviewer, pointing to the "mrtg" Linux box. I get the list of logon names on the grey background logon screen. I select my name. No password prompt appears. The screen has the grey background with the fedora logo at the bottom. It stays like that until I cancel the session on my client. I have attached output from /var/log/messages. (FYI, SELinux is in Permissive mode). Created attachment 787495 [details]
/var/log/messages output when starting VNC client on another box.

This is AFTER installing the latest update to gdm.
gdm-3.8.4-2.fc19.i686
Problem persists.
I also confirm - the problem persists. My server shows the same log outputs With some testing, I'm leaning to this being a pam.d issue. All worked with F17. With F18 it just hangs. With F19, if you manually type a user name (click not listed, type name) it says autentication error before ever asking for a password, then hangs. With F20 if you watch the screen fast enough, you can see the same error when clicking on a user name or when manually entering a username. It doesn't matter if the name is valid or not. After the error, at least with F20 it cycles back to the user list. Is there some additional configuration needed with F18+ that wasn't needed with F17? I believe this is probably fixed by: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=ae7beb63cb254c2b7e5aedb9d034133c4de90b85 https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=04116535f7a2f37a9724835893c4d1e7ad9b315b https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=74e4b08cbc5a1404dc26190b3947082ea36b3115 (or so) I don't have time at the moment to set up a reproduction environment to confirm though. Can someone see if this works in rawhide? I setup a Rawhide system this morning and am VERY pleased to say that this all works now. I didn't even need one of the fixes referred to by Ray. Current version (working): gdm-3.11.3-2.fc21.i686 Will 3.11.3 be implemented in Fedora 19 and 20? Many thanks for all your efforts. more likely to backport the fixes than rebase the verion to 3.11 (which is unstable). This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: When I start a VNC connection to the vncts service, I get the logon screen with all the defined usernames. I click on my name (or enter it manually), and the screen clears, except for the Fedora logo at the bottom. I am not prompted for my password. If left for a while, the blue criss-cross wallpaper displays with the clock and the upward arrows. If I drag them up, I go back to the blank screen with the Fedora logo. The vnc ltsp system was running on Fedora 17 before, and worked perfectly. It was upgraded using fedup directly to Fedora 19. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vnc-ltsp-config-4.0-11.fc19.noarch gnome-shell-3.8.3-3.fc19.i686 dbus-1.6.12-1.fc19.i686 dbus-x11-1.6.12-1.fc19.i686 gnome-settings-daemon-3.8.4-1.fc19.i686 tigervnc-server-1.2.80-0.16.20130314svn5065.fc19.i686 xinetd-2.3.15-6.fc19.i686 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install vnc-ltsp-config, xinetd and tigervnc-server 2. enable and vnc to the server 3. enter or select the username and proceed to the password entry screen 4. see /var/log/messages excerpt below - it shows: /usr/bin/dbus-launch[6261]: JS ERROR: !!! Failed to open reauthentication channel 5. wait forever Actual results: User is not prompted to enter a password Expected results: User should enter a password Additional info: When first connecting with VNC, the details in /var/log/messages are: [QUOTE] Jul 24 15:54:53 mrtg xinetd[1184]: START: vnc-1024x768x16 pid=6235 from=::ffff:196.2.37.200 Jul 24 15:54:54 mrtg dbus-daemon[1015]: dbus[1015]: [system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.2" (uid=0 pid=1034 comm="/usr/sbin/gdm ") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="GetAll" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.146496" (uid=0 pid=6245 comm="/usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave --display-id /org/gn") Jul 24 15:54:54 mrtg dbus[1015]: [system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.2" (uid=0 pid=1034 comm="/usr/sbin/gdm ") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="GetAll" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.146496" (uid=0 pid=6245 comm="/usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave --display-id /org/gn") Jul 24 15:54:55 mrtg systemd-logind[1012]: New session c11 of user gdm.
