[Bug 880502] [NEW] switching user fails in Oneiric

 

Public bug reported:

When switching user from the user-panel, I get the lightdm login screen all right, but when I enter the password nothing happens. In dmesg it says:
[  355.465606] lightdm[2546]: segfault at 0 ip   (null) sp b775114c error 4 in libpam.so.0.83.0[110000+c000]
[  355.466977] init: lightdm main process (902) killed by SEGV signal

I happens both in unity and unity2D.

The system has been upgraded from 10.04 to 10.11

Release: 
$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
Release:	11.10
$ apt-cache policy lightdm
lightdm:
  Installeret: 1.0.1-0ubuntu6

        500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected behavior: being logged into unity.
What happens: apparently nothing
