Title:
  unable to login to 9.10

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrade to 9.10 from 9.04 on my Acer Aspire One with netbook remix, I can not log in the normal way.
  At the gdm greeter menu, I get the following error message regardless which user I try:
  "error initiating conversation with authentication system - general failure".

  When running 9.04 the system was set-up to log in directly to the
  sytem (without giving user-id or passwd), but I remember that I had to
  do some tweak to be able to start the wireless network without giving
  the password.

  I don't know if it is relevant, but I attach some of the messages in
  the /var/log/auth.log
