Title:
  When switching to another user account, after about 12 hours I get
  logged out when I try to switch back to my account.

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I absolutely do know the package this bug is in reference too but for whatever reason this launchpad bug report webpage would not let me submit the package name stating the following error:
  "login (1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2)" does not exist in Ubuntu. Please choose a different package. If you're unsure, please select "I don't know"
  Note: When I gave it the package name "login by itself" the website directed me to select one of a number of phrases, non of which had anything to do with this package.

  Here is  a link to the package that has the bug this report is in reference too:
  http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/admin/login

  The package name listed when executing "apt-cache policy login" from the CLI:
  login:
    Installed: 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  Note: Please fix the launchpad website bug report page to include or at the very least recognize the package named:
  "login (1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2)" or "login"

  Here is the bug report:
  System info:
  OS: Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.4 (64bit version)
  Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-23-generic
  Desktop: GNOME 2.30.2
  Motherboard: ASUS p5edelux
  CPU: Intel Quad Core 2 Extreme (X9650)
  Mem: 4GB

  To recreate this problem:
  1. Login to an account with administrative privileges.
  2. Stay logged on that account but switch to another account that doesn't have administrative privileges.
  3. Remain in the non-administrative account for about 12 hours or over night.
  4. Try and switch back to the administrative account that you logged into in step 1 above.

  What I expected to happen: 
  I should have been switched back into my administrative account.

  What happened instead: 
  Some text was briefly shown on a black screen (too fast to see what it was) and I was logged out of my account.

  This shouldn't be happening. If I want to stay logged in it should let
  me stay logged in. Especially if i have some important jobs running in
  the background.
