Description Michael Lee Yohe 2005-07-21 20:34:24 UTC
Description of problem:
I upgraded a local development box from FC4's glib2 2.6.4 to 2.7.3 (rawhide) a
few days ago.  Today, I noticed when I logged out of the machine - I was unable
to log back in remotely via the gdm graphical greeter.  I would enter my user
name and password - it would immediately exit.  I enabled debug on gdm - but no
useful descriptions were made other than it informed that it was going to
terminate.  gdm would not exit if you specified an invalid user or password.

I began reverting packages one by one to FC4's release.  When re-installing
2.6.4, logins worked normally.  Something in glib2-2.7.3-1 breaks the graphical
greeter after a successful password entry.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glib2-2.7.3-1

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable "graphical greeter" in gdmsetup.
2. Update to rawhide glib2 2.7.3-1.
2. Restart gdm (init 3 then init 5)
3. Attempt to login remotely (X -query localhost :1 if on the same machine).
4. Enter user name properly.
5. Enter password properly.
  
Actual results:
Your session is terminated prematurely.

Expected results:
Normal login should occur.

Additional info:
Pulled from debug gdm messages from /var/log/messages.

Comment 2 John Thacker 2006-05-05 20:20:54 UTC
Can you reproduce this in a stable version of glib2, like in 2.10.x
in FC5?  If not, this should be closed.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2008-02-05 23:38:56 UTC
Closing this now. Too many releases have passed since this was originally reported.
