Lightdm hangs after entering password upon system startup #159

Open rado84-github opened 3 years ago

rado84-github commented 3 years ago

Until recently, with kernel 5.9.13, everything was working fine. Now, after updating to 5.9.14, when I enter user password, lightdm won't take me to the desktop and hangs instead. I tried downgrading kernel to 5.9.13 and 5.9.12 but it's still the same. I don't get it what the problem is. The only way I can get to my desktop is to restart X server (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, Cinnamon). I suppose I could open an issue on Cinnamon's github but Googling for "Lightdm developer" lead me to here.

I have exactly the same issue on Debian 11 (stable) with Xfce. Usually after I press any key the screen turns on and then lightdm hangs either right away or after I type a password. journalctl doesn't show anything useful for lightdm.service apart from: Dec 18 20:33:07 Yura-PC lightdm[16254]: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file Dec 18 20:34:00 Yura-PC lightdm[16413]: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file

I reported this a year ago and still no response from the developers and I doubt there will be. I moved to GDM long ago and got rid of all problems.
