[Bug 1766137] [NEW] Login fails when preceded by incorrect password

[Chris A]

Public bug reported:

Trying to log into my session (Gnome, Xorg), if I enter the wrong
password before entering it correctly, the session doesn't load and I
get a purple screen, a mouse cursor, and an invisible but clickable menu
in the top right. If I enter it correctly the first time, there is no
problem.

I've replicated this from a fresh boot, after logging out and after
'sudo service gdm restart' from the Ctrl-Alt-F4 console.

This is a fresh install, and didn't occur when I was using a previous
install of 18.04 (until Friday).

Maybe this is related to bug 1765261. Some people have suggested there
are key repeat problems so if a key is getting unexpectedly repeated in
bug 1765261 then that would count as an incorrect password.

I think I might have hit this finally. The blank purple screen with a
mouse cursor probably means the shell failed to start. And indeed I have
no gnome-shell process running for my UID. The journalctl shows:

Please try to log in to the machine via ssh first, and start monitoring
the system log before reproducing the problem:

journalctl -f

Then reproduce the bug (log in graphically) and let us know what the
output from journalctl -f was at the time the bug occurred.

Here is the output from journalctl (extra spacing around probably the
most interesting line). Also when I got back to the login screen, I very
briefly saw a message under the password form saying 'Authentication

I use persistent logging and got this (entered incorrect passwords and
then the correct one, after the last message there's nothing for over 10
seconds (hanging on purple screen) and then I hard shutdown, I'm on a
ThinkPad T430 with an SSD so it usually logs in very fast (and does when
I get the password correct on the first attempt)).

I think the relevant parts of the log are from 15:27:15.

I'm not sure how to get the full (unabbreviated) without SSH and I have
no devices to use to SSH in unfortunately :(

NOTE: This bug is not about a login failure. Login is succeeding as
shown in comment #7. It's only the shell that's failing to start:

gdm-password][2440]: pam_unix(gdm-password:session): session opened for user chris by (uid=0)
systemd-logind[904]: New session 5 of user chris.
systemd[1]: Started Session 5 of user chris.
gnome-shell[1128]: g_dbus_connection_call_sync_internal: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

That is the same behaviour as I see.

Ads20000 might be experiencing something slightly different.

Daniel thanks for your work here to try and get this filed correctly. If
the logs are different for me and for this bug then perhaps my bug is
different? Ray Strode (upstream) thinks the key part of my log is

```
Apr 23 17:43:40 adam-thinkpad-t430 gdm3[2997]: GdmSession: Emitting 'session-opened' signal
[...]
Apr 23 17:43:40 adam-thinkpad-t430 gdm3[2997]: GdmSession: external connection closed
```

Chris A, please could you (as Ray suggested to me) put `Enable=true`
(without backticks (``)) in the `[debug]` section of
`/etc/gdm/custom.conf`, reboot, reproduce and post the updated logs?
Maybe then we'll be able to see if this issue is the same as mine or not
(and if not then maybe Chris A's problem needs a separate upstream bug).

Hi,

As discussed with duflu on irc, here are the steps I took to reproduce
and produce a log:

1. Enable debug in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
2. Reboot
3. From other laptop; ssh wendigo journalctl -f
4. Intentially login with a faulty password first, which made GDM just prompt as normal
5. Login with the correct password, which caused the purple screen + mouse
6. Copy the log up to this point
7. Press a bunch of ctrl+alt+fn+f-key combos until I got back to login screen
8. Login as normal, ctrl+c the SSH session and scp the file.

I've added a workaround to the bug description (and to the upstream bug
description), do comment if the workaround doesn't work for you :)

** Description changed:

+ WORKAROUND: After typing an incorrect password, click Cancel, then click

Trying to log into my session (Gnome, Xorg), if I enter the wrong
password before entering it correctly, the session doesn't load and I
get a purple screen, a mouse cursor, and an invisible but clickable menu
in the top right. If I enter it correctly the first time, there is no
problem.

I've replicated this from a fresh boot, after logging out and after
'sudo service gdm restart' from the Ctrl-Alt-F4 console.

This is a fresh install, and didn't occur when I was using a previous
install of 18.04 (until Friday).

To add more info, the following steps cause this issue on my machine and
are reproducible.

- Start machine login to user A
- Logout of user A
- Try to login to user B
- Now have a purple display, need to use the cancel workaround (next login will work)

Also often stuck at purple screen after login. Mouse cursor can still be moved around. Another workaround is switching to console and back using CTRL-F1/CTRL-F2/... In my logs I also see the
G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection) error.

[Joseph Maillardet via ubuntu-bugs]

Same here with a 18.04 upgraded from 17.10

Workaround :
* Hitting Alt+F1 return to GDM who complain about a “login fail” and ask another time my password.
* Another successful password attempt finally launch Gnome correctly.

Side effect :
* Hitting Alt+F3,4,5,... give me ugly graphic mashup.

Try :
* Uncommenting the line bellow in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf file to use Xorg by default don't change anything :
#WaylandEnable=false

Note :
* The blanked screen is always GDM, I don't see the top menu-bar but clicking the right place show the GDM style system menu with only few option like shutdown button and no user sub-menu
* I not obtain blank purple screen but grey screen because I choose original Gnome CSS alternative...
`sudo update-alternatives --set gdm3.css /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css`

I'm using a 18.04 upgraded from 17.10 and I have the same issue but slightly different.
The difference is that if I lock the screen for more than a certain amount of time, when I wake it up, I find myself logged out.
And to get away the blanked screen, I used Alt+F2 and then Alt+F1, and the gdm says "Authentication failed", which is quite similar to #19.
And I'm using gnome-session with Wayland.

Had the same issue after a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04. After
installing the proprietary drivers of the NVIDIA graphic card it did not
happened again!

Daniel, I don't encounter problem with first attempt if I enter the
right password. I only encounter problem with second attempt _after_ a
failed first attempt.

I see the same thing as #17 (Andrew). I type in the password correctly
each time. I login to a user (successfully, no errors) and then log
out. After that, I login as a different user and I get the purple
screen without the desktop showing. I typed the correct password. If I
switch users leaving the first user still running (instead of logging
that user out) the error does not happen. This happens on 3 different
PCs that I've updated to 18.04.

The cancel button is not visible (purple screen),
your workaround is for another problem.
I think it's better to remove it from the bug description.

Ads2000 means to hit cancel before retyping your password. Hit cancel,
then re-select user, then retype password, all before hitting enter...
and hence the purple screen. I believe it's the same problem. This
workaround works for me.

I have a kinda similar problem on xubuntu 18.04. And had that problem on
xubuntu 16.04.

After I type the password, there is only desktop wallpaper and mouse
pointer (it moves). Then I press Ctr-Alt-Del and go back to password
screen again (screen resolution changes to low), then I enter password
and suddenly all works, everything is upsie-daisy.

I believe it somehow connected to nvidia drivers. Under nvidia-384 it
problem doesn't existed, but on nvidia-390 and 396 it does.

Confirmed, entering an incorrect password and then trying to log in with
the correct one leads to a purple screen.

Not sure it is the Nvidia driver, I have had the same problem on both the Nvidia-390 and the X-org Nouveau display driver.
There seems to be a lot of talk about error occurring with incorrect password input, this is inconsistent with my experience.
The best workaround I have seen so far is mentioned by Wayne Carr (above), rather than log-out when switching users, use the switch-user option. This obviously leaves all profiles active but the fault does not occur.

Work around does not work for. It is not about nvidia driver. Lets face

Besides the login problem (wrong first attempt to login, then right password ,leads to a purple screen and nothing else happens) there is another problem when you are in gnome-shell if you issue ctrl-alt
f4 you cannot get back with ctrl-alt f7

That's not a bug. There's nothing on F7.

Same problem here. I can no longer log into 18.04. First password entry
fails, then on second entry, I get purple screen with working mouse
pointer. But hangs there. This has been an intermittent problem for me
over the past few weeks, but today seems to be 100%.

Following #51 and #56 from Davide (tarski10)

I was able to reproduce. *<Some comments added>*.

gdm3/ 3.28.0-0-0ubuntu1.1
if I enter the wrong password once or twice and then I enter the correct password now I can access,
but if I enter the wrong password three times I return to the user choice screen and after clicking on my username *<and waiting a few seconds>* and entering the correct password the screen freezes *<with my login visible>* and nothing happens

*<I can move my mouse, select characters in password box, doing the
ctrl-alt-F1 / ctrl-alt-f2 trick doesn't help, reboot needed>*

Looks weird, can you attach the output of
journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell
?

[regression] Password accepted but login fails (blank purple screen
and mouse pointer only)
Fix Released

[ Description ]
Due to a refcounting bug, a GDBusConnection was getting disposed when
it was still required. The symptom of this was that you couldn't log
in if you'd got your password wrong.
[ Test case ]
1. Boot to GDM
2. Click your username
3. Type the wrong password a couple of times, pressing enter after each
time
4. Type the right password
If the bug is happening, after 4. the system hangs at a blank screen
with the mouse cursor. If you then switch to a VT or otherwise connect
to the machine, you can examine the journal and you'll see a
G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION failure.
[ Fix ]
Marco and I worked upstream on this fix. We found out that there was a
problem like this-
The GdmClient has a shared GDBusConnection for its operations. The
first time someone calls for it, it is created and stored in the
object's private structure. Subsequent calls return *a new reference*
to this same object. It turned out that the asynchronous method to get
the connection was accidentally unreferencing its object before giving
it to the caller if it was returning an already-existing connection.
For this to work properly, we need to nullify the pointer we stored
when the connection goes away, so we know when to make a new one.
There were some cases where we didn't add the weak references required
to do that. Those are also fixed.
[ Regression potential ]
Now we share connections more than we did before. We also more
carefully track when to clear our object. If we got this wrong, we
might end up leaking the connection or dropping it in even more cases.
[ Original report ]
WORKAROUND: After typing an incorrect password, click Cancel, then click
your name, then enter your password again.
---
Trying to log into my session (Gnome, Xorg), if I enter the wrong
password before entering it correctly, the session doesn't load and I
get a purple screen, a mouse cursor, and an invisible but clickable
menu in the top right. If I enter it correctly the first time, there
is no problem.
I've replicated this from a fresh boot, after logging out and after
'sudo service gdm restart' from the Ctrl-Alt-F4 console.
This is a fresh install, and didn't occur when I was using a previous
install of 18.04 (until Friday).

Looks weird, can you attach the output of
journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell
?

[regression] Password accepted but login fails (blank purple screen

Fix Released

[ Description ]
Due to a refcounting bug, a GDBusConnection was getting disposed when
it was still required. The symptom of this was that you couldn't log
in if you'd got your password wrong.
[ Test case ]
1. Boot to GDM
2. Click your username
3. Type the wrong password a couple of times, pressing enter after each
time
4. Type the right password
If the bug is happening, after 4. the system hangs at a blank screen
with the mouse cursor. If you then switch to a VT or otherwise connect
to the machine, you can examine the journal and you'll see a
G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION failure.
[ Fix ]
Marco and I worked upstream on this fix. We found out that there was a
problem like this-
The GdmClient has a shared GDBusConnection for its operations. The
first time someone calls for it, it is created and stored in the
object's private structure. Subsequent calls return *a new reference*
to this same object. It turned out that the asynchronous method to get
the connection was accidentally unreferencing its object before giving
it to the caller if it was returning an already-existing connection.
For this to work properly, we need to nullify the pointer we stored
when the connection goes away, so we know when to make a new one.
There were some cases where we didn't add the weak references required
to do that. Those are also fixed.
[ Regression potential ]
Now we share connections more than we did before. We also more
carefully track when to clear our object. If we got this wrong, we
might end up leaking the connection or dropping it in even more cases.
[ Original report ]
WORKAROUND: After typing an incorrect password, click Cancel, then
click your name, then enter your password again.

Trying to log into my session (Gnome, Xorg), if I enter the wrong
password before entering it correctly, the session doesn't load and I
get a purple screen, a mouse cursor, and an invisible but clickable
menu in the top right. If I enter it correctly the first time, there
is no problem.
I've replicated this from a fresh boot, after logging out and after
'sudo service gdm restart' from the Ctrl-Alt-F4 console.
This is a fresh install, and didn't occur when I was using a previous
install of 18.04 (until Friday).

I installed proposed updates. Now it freeze a bit earlier and even more
often. Login screen remain visible and no cursor movement while before in
looked like progressing with blank screen with cursor movement until final
freeze.

Brian,
I attempted to install the proposed package: 3.28.0-0ubuntu1.1 but it
failed. Initially I thought it installed correct but when switching users I
got a notification of a timeout and a package not installed. In the process
of looking at the notification it went away and I don't know how to get it
back. I have included the dpkg log below. I have reverted back to the
standard release and things are working as they were.
NOTE: the install could be operator error.

Tested this gdm3/3.28.0-0ubuntu1.1 from bionic-proposed.

Bad password entry followed by correct password entry works correctly.

I then tried to switch user, Bad password entry followed by correct password entry : screen with the grayed password box, nothing happening.
crtl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2, log back to previous session ok
I then tried to switch user, correct password entry : screen with the grayed password box, nothing happening.
ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2, log back to previous session ok

(this might be another bug …?) but the test as I did failed.

to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
