Hello. A situation arose. Please tell me how to solve this problem. If you enter the wrong password when logging in through slim, a black screen appears. It's strange. If you enter the login / password of a non-existent user, the slim authorization window is simply reset and allows you to re-enter the login / password. If you enter the wrong password for an existing user, then a black screen and you have to reboot xdm again. It seems to me that there is something in the pam palettes. /etc/slim.conf default_path /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin default_xserver /usr/bin/X xserver_arguments -nolisten tcp -br -deferglyphs 16 vt07 halt_cmd /sbin/shutdown -h now reboot_cmd /sbin/shutdown -r now console_cmd /usr/bin/xterm -C -fg white -bg black +sb -T "Console login" -e /bin/sh -c "/bin/cat /etc/issue; exec /bin/login" xauth_path /usr/bin/xauth authfile /var/run/slim.auth numlock on login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login /usr/share/slim/Xsession %session sessionstart_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l :0.0 %user sessionstop_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -d -l :0.0 %user daemon yes sessiondir /usr/share/xsessions screenshot_cmd import -window root /slim.png welcome_msg Welcome to %host shutdown_msg The system is halting... reboot_msg The system is rebooting... current_theme flat lockfile /run/slim.pid logfile /var/log/slim.log /var/log/messages.

I confirm that it's the same for me.
Confirm, I have the same issue. $ grep -v -e "#" -e ^$ /etc/slim.conf default_path /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin default_xserver /usr/bin/X xserver_arguments -nolisten tcp -br -deferglyphs 16 vt07 halt_cmd /sbin/shutdown -h now reboot_cmd /sbin/shutdown -r now console_cmd /usr/bin/xterm -C -fg white -bg black +sb -T "Console login" -e /bin/sh -c "/bin/cat /etc/issue; exec /bin/login" xauth_path /usr/bin/xauth authfile /var/run/slim.auth numlock on login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login /usr/share/slim/Xsession %session sessionstart_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l :0.0 %user sessionstop_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -d -l :0.0 %user daemon yes sessiondir /usr/share/xsessions screenshot_cmd import -window root /slim.png welcome_msg Welcome to %host shutdown_msg The system is halting... reboot_msg The system is rebooting... default_user user_name focus_password yes current_theme wave lockfile /run/slim.pid logfile /var/log/slim.log $ cat /var/log/slim.log slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections. slim: pam_authenticate(): Permission denied $ uname -rvmpi 5.4.72-gentoo-nouveau #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 26 13:53:02 MSK 2020 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD $ xfce4-about --version xfce4-about 4.14.1 (Xfce 4.14) $ eselect profile show Current /etc/portage/make.profile symlink: default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop
I'm experiencing same thing. Black screen when I log-in with "slim". I'm not sure if this is slim problem or xdm. For now, I disable xdm and start X from .xinitrc cat .xinitrc exec startxfce4 cat .bash_profile ... if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startx; fi It is more reliable.

Is not xdm related. After upgrade from xdm to display-manager, the problem persists.
It's a slim problem. Changet it to lightdm and the problem is solved
Created attachment 743337 [details, diff] PAM_PERM_DENIED support Modern PAM could return PARM_PERM_DENIED when user is valid but password isn't. Slim tries to be on the safe side and terminate itself on unknown PAM response. So to prevent that we just need to treat PAM_PERM_DENIED as failed authentication.
I've also hit this problem (though, bizarrely, only on the machines installed from my binpkg output, not the machine that built them). I will try the patch and see. While I'm at it, I should probably update/submit my patch for logging in as an expired user (older slim used to completely ignore the "expired" flag, now it produces the same black screen)
(In reply to Konstantin Kuzov from comment #6) > Created attachment 743337 [details, diff] [details, diff] > PAM_PERM_DENIED support > Unfortunately your patch doesn't fix it for me. I still get the black screen. The slim log shows a PAM error report, which looks (from inspection of the code) to be what's expected, and really ought to result in another go round the loop, but seems instead to produce an error exit.
