After the update to gnome-3.22, gdm-autologin fails with:

gdm-autologin][722]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_gdm.so): /lib64/security/pam_gdm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
gdm-autologin][722]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_gdm.so

because pam_gdm.so is installed in /usr/lib64/security/ instead of /lib64/security/, which leads to a black screen when auto-login is enabled in /etc/gdm/custom.conf

Comment 1 Bernd Feige 2016-11-15 09:16:56 UTC

Same here!

Even setting --with-pam-prefix=/lib in configure does not lead to pam_gdm.so being installed under /lib/security - pam_gdm/ simply uses libdir for the installation, which is /usr/lib64 here...

Comment 2 Marcin Kowalski 2016-11-18 11:50:15 UTC

Same situation here. Gdm fails to start now.

A symlink unbreaks gdm autologin

/lib64/security/pam_gdm.so -> /usr/lib64/security/pam_gdm.so

Will investigate

pushed 3.22.1-r1 with a patch. Closing.

Don't hesitate to reopen if the issue still appears.

Thanks !
