[Bug 868660] Re: changing the user on locked screen doesn't work

 

I use lightdm but I upgraded to oneiric in July so gdm packages are
still installed. Actually after update lightdm package I can't switch
user at all. When i use switchin user applet and the login screen opens
I write a password and this is over. Nothing happens - I cant login
enywhere cos there is no  place to put the password - its blank.
