Description Oliver Welter 2020-02-09 12:11:25 UTC
Looks like the username including a dot causes an error for creating the session.

See in attached log:

Feb 09 12:03:01 cloud gdm-password][99754]: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a user with a dot in it, e.g. "tony.stark"
2.Set a password for the user "tony.stark"
3.Login via gdm
Actual Results:  
The screen blanks and then the login screen is shown again.

Expected Results:  
The desktop is of the user is shown.

Is there an upstream bug report?
Comment 3 Oliver Welter 2020-02-15 09:48:08 UTC
Just created one: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/559
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2020-02-22 17:46:04 UTC
It looks to be a pam_systemd issue
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/13244

What systemd version are you running?

I can reproduce the pam_systemd issue with sys-apps/systemd-245_rc1-r1.

I'm using sys-apps/systemd-245_rc1-r1 as well.
Comment 7 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2020-02-22 19:17:03 UTC
I'm working on a patch.

Should be resolved in systemd-245_rc2.
