Description Casual J. Programmer 2007-08-10 07:06:12 UTC

After a "clean" install from beta1 DVD, users with ldap accounts can not login to gnome desktop.

.xsession-errors:

/etc/X11/xim: Checking whether an input method should be started.
/etc/X11/xim: user environment variable LANG=en_US.UTF-8
sourcing /etc/sysconfig/language to get the value of INPUT_METHOD

This is really getting neat. After creating a second, local user, when logging in with ldap users name and password I get logged in as local user with his name and password.

ldap user cjp
local user jcd

as long as no local user exists result is as comment #0, as soon as local user jcd is established, result of logging in as cjp is being logged in as jcd.

Not sure what kind of information is needed.

I did a complete reinstall from beta1 DVD to make sure this is reproducible.

Interestingly enough, both users, LDAP as well as local, are given uid 1000. Not sure why this should be possible.

Changed local users ID manually to 1001, now this one behaves normal. The LDAP user still can not login as per comment #0

Comment 3 Casual J. Programmer 2007-08-12 10:26:09 UTC

After removing _all_ users and setting up at least one local user first, uid's are incremented properly and the LDAP users are behaving normally again.

Comment 4 JP Rosevear 2007-08-15 16:11:06 UTC

Interesting - this does not seem like a GNOME error anymore, I presume you are using Yast to do the ldap setup.

Comment 5 Casual J. Programmer 2007-08-15 17:44:51 UTC

I actually tried to register this as YaST Bug ;-)

This might be a duplicate of #298830.

Comment 7 Jiri Dluhos 2007-08-24 16:58:12 UTC

Could you please try this with beta2? If it is the same problem as with #298830, it should be fixed there.
