Bug Description
This is in a NIS/Kerberos environment with shared users in a lab. /home is on NFS. I have configured lightdm to disable the list of users with these entries in /etc/lightdm/
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-
allow-guest=false
greeter-
greeter-
The symptoms are actually quite similar to bug #986967, but happen again in quantal. I can enter my user name, but the password box won't appear.

Screenshot of the situation.
There is not much to see neither on the photo nor on my screen, because that's the issue: the box is perfectly empty besides the label "Login"
