Unable to login

[FedoraTipper]

Hello,

So it seems my problem is kinda rare, as I cannot find it anywhere. I have successfully installed webkit, and edited lightdm.conf correctly. Upon booting to lightdm, everything is looks fine with webkit taking place over the default lightdm. Once I input my login details, nothing happens. It goes into a loading mode with the login screen still shown. Looking at the direct logs, it says that I have authenticated properly yet nothing has happened. This is whilst choosing deepin 15.2 or gnome 3.18 as DE options.

When looking at x-0-greeter.log.old this is shown: (lightdm-webkit2-greeter:18742): Gdk-WARNING **: lightdm-webkit2-greeter: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.

Could anyone please help me with this?

The API for the webkit greeter has changed, it's possible you're using a theme that hasn't updated yet.

Which theme are you using?

I have the same problem. I just install lightdm-webkit2-greeter from source on a new machine (Fedora 24 Cinnamon) with lightdm 1.10.6 installed on it. I can't login. There is the loading icon but nothing happens.

Hmm...That's a pretty old version of LightDM..Are you able to update to a more recent version by any chance?

[FedoraTipper]

I was using material theme. Could you please provide a link to the new version? What I downloaded was a clone of the current code base.

[sebastiencs]

I updated LightDM to version 1.19.3 but it broke everything. What version do you have ?

[lots0logs]

@FedoraTipper Does the issue occur with the default antergos theme?

@sebastiencs The current stable version of lightdm is 1.18.2

[sebastiencs]

It was a selinux issue. Same problem with lightdm 1.19.3, I still can't login. Also it's very slow, when I click on a button It reacts in 2 secondes... What log do you need ? Here are the logs with lightdm 1.19.3

lightdm.log.txt seat0-greeter.log.txt x-0.log.txt x-0-greeter.log.txt x-2.log.txt

[lots0logs]

@sebastiencs Could you try using the latest stable version? (the 1.19.x series is a development series. They follow a similar versioning scheme to that of GNOME where even numbers are stable releases and odd numbers are unstable) Also be sure you are using the default antergos theme as that's the official theme provided by the greeter. If you still experience issues please post the logs again so I can check them out. Thanks!

[sebastiencs]

I'm now using lightdm 1.18.2, same problem :( Thanks for your help.

[lots0logs]

@sebastiencs Could you enabled debug mode in the config file and grab the logs again? (Sorry I should have mentioned that before :grimacing: )

[sebastiencs]

Sure ;) :

lightdm.log.txt seat0-greeter.log.txt x-0.log.txt x-0-greeter.log.txt x-2.log.txt

[lots0logs]

@sebastiencs Thanks..could you check the x-0-greeter logs to see if you have one from when using the webkit2 greeter? The one you sent was from the gtk greeter. Also, what exactly happens when you try to log in. Walk me through it step by step (just a brief overview so I can be sure I understand the issue). Thanks!

[sebastiencs]

Oh yes x-0-greeter.log and x-2.log are old files, I didn't check their modification date. The valid logs are lightdm.log, seat0-greeter.log and x-0.log The logs for webkit2 greeter are in seat0-greeter.log, isn't it ?

When I try to login:

• I click on the date time
• My username appears, I click on it
• A box where I can type my password appears, I write it, then I click on "submit password" button
• The box with my password disappears, my username is still there
• Nothing happens
• I click again on my username
• The box with my password reappears with a loading icons

[lots0logs]

@sebastiencs Okay. Before trying to log in, right click anywhere on the screen and then click Inspect Element. Switch over to the Console tab and then try to log in. Let me know what (if any) messages you see in the console.

[sebastiencs]

When I open the console I see some warning message: "Unexpected CSS token" When I click on my name there are some message about the session: "session for sebastien is undefined" (Same messages than in seat0-greeter.log) When I click on "submit password" button, nothing happens in the console

[sebastiencs]

I checkout on 2.1.4 and now it works, I can login. So it seems that something makes fail the login since this tag ? However the UI is very slow: the screen is black for 3-4 seconds, buttons respond in 3 seconds, ... Should I open an issue for that ?

[FedoraTipper]

@lots0logs I used the default antergos theme, I saw the browser console. Had no errors pop up or anything.

[lots0logs]

@sebastiencs Sorry I should have thought to ask you that in the beginning, The master branch is the development branch. Only official releases are guaranteed to be stable. Be sure to disable debug mode. That affects performance. If you still have trouble with performance open a new issue and include your system specs. Thanks!

@FedoraTipper Did you also install from master branch or did you install the latest official release?

[FedoraTipper]

@lots0logs I cloned the master branch

Okay I got time today, to fix this. Cloning was the problem. I downloaded latest release and installed from that. Everything is fixed. Only problem I have now is when I log in, it kinda takes a long time to get to the desktop. It black screens with a X cursor for about 4-5 secs. Do you know how I can fix this?

[lots0logs]

@FedoraTipper When the cursor changes to the X cursor it means the greeter has completely exited and your selected session is starting up. Any delay at that point is beyond the greeter's control I'm afraid.
