Bug Description
[Impact]
After locking, the login screen shows the message "Authentication Failure" and the user must click "Switch to greeter" to continue.
This SRU fixes the regression introduced in 44e6022, which causes the lock screen to start failing when session switching is involved. This can happen when you unlock the session from LightDM or from the CLI. We need to cancel the authentication in order to ensure that the next one does not fail.
[Test Case]
On a system with LightDM and more than one local user ("bob" and "alice"):
1. Login under bob.
2. Via upper-right menu switch to "alice".
3. On greeter screen select "alice", login under alice.
4. Logout, return to greeter screen.
5. Select bob (already logged in). Enter password.
6. Lock screen.
[Other Info]
This happens mostly after switching user sessions.

Anyone know either the cause, or a solution?
If it helps, the two computers where I'm seeing this also happen to be the two host computers where I run Virtualbox.

My issues began shortly after upgrading from 16.10 -> 17.10. Most of my issues related to graphical components so perhaps it was related to the switch to Wayland?
...as for a fix - I ended up reformatting my machine with a fresh 17.10. Haven't seen any of the issues since.
See: https:/
for a list of other issues to happen at the same time.

Same on 16.04.3 after updating Unity to latest proposed packages.
Also on 17.10 with installed unity-session.
For me, this issue appears after switching to another user.
Steps to reproduce (must be more than one local users on system, eg. "bob", "alice"):
1. Login under bob.
2. Via upper-right menu switch to "alice".
3. On greeter screen setect "alice", login under alice.
4. Logout, return to greeter screen.
5. Select bob (already logged in). Enter password.
6. Lock screen. Issue appeared.
Issue appeared on every screen lock.

Same as Eugene, the problem started popping up after upgrading Unity. When I lock my screen or wake from suspend, I get the described behaviour.
As a temporary fix, is there a way to just skip that screen and always go to the greeter when locking the screen or suspending?
hife (hife) wrote : | #7 |
P.S.: To be precise, the message I get is not "Authentication failed", but "Authentication failure". This may be related to my system language being German.

I'm seeing this also upon 17.10 upgrade in unity / lightdm / unity greeter.
It doesn't happen 100% of the time, typically takes some time time to manifest (I only ever suspend my laptop from monday to friday), but once it starts happening, it always happens until I shut down.

This started happening to me after the following scenario:
- I had account for my wife, created on the machine, but she has not used it ever.
- today she logged in with her account.
- after she logged out the bug was present, when I attempted to log in.
Now when I Lock/Switch Account the bug is produced.

Sometimes I think Unity developers never use Unity actually, as this issue immediately visible when you share home PC with wife and children (assuming they have separate accounts).

@Eugene
It depends on the hardware/graphics. But as I said, I can't reproduce it on bionic (bionic has different unity/lightdm version). Can you reproduce it in a live iso?
Eugene Romanenko (eros2) wrote : | #19 |
> It depends on the hardware/graphics.
Sure, no. I tested and have this issue on home PC (16.04.3 after latest Unity update, AMD Phenom CPU/Nvidia GPU), work PC (17.10, Intel i7/Intel), Lenovo flex laptop (17.10, intel i5), and of course in VirtualBox (16.04.3 fresh install with latest updates, 18.04).
> But as I said, I can't reproduce it on bionic (bionic has different unity/lightdm version). Can you reproduce it in a live iso?
Not tried live iso, but I have test box with up-to-date 18.04. Just two days ago I tried:
Added second user account;
sudo apt install unity-session lightdm
sudo apt purge ubuntu-session gnome-shell gdm3
Reboot, login as first user, start second user session, end session, return to first user session, lock screen - issue here.
Bionic live iso does not have unity and lightdm preinstalled, so them will be downloaded from repository anyway.

In my case, I've installed virtualbox-dkms 32bits, in host "Ubuntu 16 64bits", instead than in the virtualbox hosted "Ubuntu 16 32bits"
When I've removed those 32bits libs the problem disappeared.
It started to happen to my laptop today after I did an upgrade.

I can confirm this bug occurs with me aswell, though, I was doing some maintenance in my computer yesterday and after replugging the power cable of the monitor, instead of plugging it in my voltage stabilizer, I plugged it in the computer's power supply, after using Ubuntu for awhile, I locked the screen and noticed the bug was gone, Im not sure why this worked but this was the workaround I (mistakenly) found

I started encountering this issue also. My system was working fine up until yesterday when this started happening. I most often notice it when I connect my laptop to an external display (or make some other display related change that kicks me to the login prompt).

Same issue in my laptop Lenovo G40-80 I think after some apt-get update/upgrade it has started. (Between 2 or 3 weeks ago)
I'm the only user of this computer. There is only my user and admin is disabled.
I use Virtual Box and it was upgraded recently to Version 5.1.34 r121010 (Qt5.5.1).
If I lock screen it don't happens immediately. It happens only after screen goes blank.
Then I have to click on "switch to greeter" in password field and wait some seconds to screen changes and I be able to insert password.

The attachment contains the data logged in x-0.log, seat0-greeter.log, lightdm.log, and x-1.log in the /var/log/lightdm directory during a test. I pressed CTRL-ALT-L, waited 10 seconds, clicked "Switch to greeter...", waited 10 seconds, then logged in and stopped recording.
There is a DBus error, but not much else.

I *think* I've found a workaround...
Changing the driver to neuveu reboot ( deal with the failure to detect resolution if needed )
change back to nvidia driver reboot
back to normal :) ( for the last 3 locks at least... fingers crossed!

Update to #37 and #38 reporting the issue on 16.04 LTS: The issue went away as silently as it initially came. Ran another apt update/upgrade today, totally different packages updated and then rebooted. 'Authentication Failure' in the lock screen is now gone, even after several reboots.
For completeness here are the packages that updated, I don't see a comonality here.:

This bug happens to me also. I had this problem in my laptop during a few months. But it disappeared after a while. Now it suddenly appeared on my desktop. 16.04 LTS. I dont have other users in my computers as others mentioned. It happened after a few weeks of a fresh Ubuntu installation. Annoying but not serious. It happens after returning from screen lock or restart. Disappears after doing "ESC".

Single user desktop - steps to reproduce:
1) restart computer or log out user
2) log into user session from LightDM
3) use the gear icon menu to lock the screen
4) use the gear icon menu to switch the account
5) now we are switched into LightDM
6) log into user session again
7) use the gear icon menu to lock the screen
8) Authentication failure - Switch to greeter

@Rael Gugelmin Cunha
My knowledge is not PAM friendly but I think it's something like this - when the screen is locked, PAM transaction is started via pam_start and after authentication (entered a password) it's closed via pam_end. But if we switch user from the locked screen, PAM transaction is not terminated via pam_end and pam_handle_ is still presented. When we return into the session and lock the screen again, the following code will cause the issue:
unity/lockscree
if (pam_handle_)
{
LOG_
return false;
}
It will try 5 times to authenticate but it always returns false as pam_handle_ is still present, then the following code shows "Authentication failure" with "Switch to greeter" button:
unity/lockscree
if (num_retry_auth_ <= 5)
{
LOG_
source_
StartAuth
return false;
});
}
else
{
AddMessage(
AddButton(
session_
});
My solution is to terminate the PAM transaction and let it try to init the new one. I have tested it in my case and it works without problem.
I wonder why there is the case of error - "Unable to start authentication because another one has already been started". I don't know what case it's related to.

Please test if it works with multiple users. If it does it's better to attach a git patch with proper header.
commit your local changes using

then generate a patch using

Then you will have a 0001-*.patch in root project dir.

Now almost 2 days using: I've resumed from suspend, switched users, and still working fine! Hope we can get this published soon! Thank you @c4pp4!

Ok, after install the PPA, this issue is gone. No reboot since 19th, and several users used my box, I've suspend and resumed: working like a charm.
Now how can we get this patch as an official update?

As of now Unityshell compiz plugin is crashing in disco (bug 1812964), once that's fixed I will open a merge.

@c4pp4 Than you for the trouble. I installed your PPA and after update I can confirm the patch solved my issue. I no longer see "authentication failure" dialog. Unity 7.5.0 on Ubuntu 18.10

@c4pp4 because of other issues I had in my system (Firefox acting weird with recent 64 and 65 releases on 18.10) i rolled back to 18.04 (using LVM and backups) and installed your PPA - it also solved my long lasting issue with multiple logged-in accounts. Thanks!

That's great news! Does it mean it will be backported into bionic after it will be accepted from proposed? Is there a way to enable proposed for 18.04?

1. Lock the screen
2. Switch to gdm using ctrl + alt + f1
3. Use gdm to unlock the session
4. The session should be unlocked
5. Lock again the session
6. Depending on the unity version you are running you should be able to reproduce (not reproduce the bug)
