Error message not shown on entering incorrect password #8

Closed gnaqvi closed 6 years ago

gnaqvi commented 6 years ago

Upon entering an incorrect password, the screen goes blank for a few seconds and the greeter is displayed again instead of showing an error message stating that an incorrect password was entered. Entering the correct password works as expected. Following are the configuration files for lightdm and lightdm-mini-greeter.

What distro?

Can you check /var/log/lightdm for any relevant errors?

gnaqvi commented 6 years ago

It seems that the issue is resolved by a reinstallation of lightdm and lightdm-mini-greeter. I was using Arch Linux and installed the package from AUR. Probably a false alarm. Closing.
