#StackBounty: #kubuntu #login #sddm #switch-user No more 'switch user' from sddm

Bounty: 50

I’ve searched extensively and there are many mentions of this problem but it seems only a few disparate users have had it over the last few months. But the 3 Kubuntu systems I upgraded to 20.10 all have it now, so I’m surprised it’s not a critical bug with already a solution.

Description:

‘switch user’ is gone from the K / Leave menu
‘Switch user’ is gone from SDDM lock screen (you can only re-enter your own locked session). Shutdown / reboot is also gone from lock screen.
Maybe unrelated: when logging out some users (always the same ones), I get a black screen (for others I go back to a normal sddm screen with user selection). This is not related to the kde_settings.conf / MinimumUid issue

Out systems are family-shared, so it’s really annoying. If the lock screen is on, the system has to be forcefully rebooted for another user to use it, with all the disk corruption risks involved.

#StackBounty: #login #scanner Ubuntu 20.04 fingerprint device disconnect during scan

Bounty: 100

I have a Xiaomi air pro 2 laptop running ubuntu 20.04.

It detects my fingerprint device, but after attempting to scan, it disconnects the device. Sometimes it gets further in the scan than others. Afterwards I cannot scan another fingerprint until I restart my laptop as a "scan is already in progress".

#StackBounty: #sudo #environment-variables #login #pam sudo -i and ~/.pam_environment

Bounty: 50

I have switched to using ~/.pam_environment for setting my user environment variables, and it works quite well. PAM takes care of setting everything, regardless of what shell I’m using, how I’m using it, ect. The one place where I’ve noticed an issue is when opening an interactive shell with sudo -i; It seems as though ~/.pam_environment is not used. For example, if I’d like to switch to user foo, I’d run sudo -iu foo. After doing so, none of the environment variables specified in /home/foo/.pam_environment are set.

All I’ve found pertaining to this subject is the fact that sudo will not carry over most (if not all) environment variables to the created process. However, I don’t want to carry over the old environment variables; I just want to honor the ones of the user I’m changing to.

Is there a way to do this? Is there a reason (security?) that this is not the default behavior?

#StackBounty: #login Login page fails: refreshes without error on form submit, recovery page refreshes with ERROR: Enter a username or …

Bounty: 100

I run WordPress on IIS10 on Windows Server 2016. When I try to login the page simply refreshes without any logged errors (not on screen, developer console or WordPress logs).

When I try the WordPress lost password screen (wp-login.php?action=lostpassword) and enter my username or email address I get:

ERROR: Enter a username or email address.

I tried everything as suggested here:

To summarize what I tried:

Renamed folder ‘plugins’ to ‘plugins_backup’
Ran UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'a:0:{}' WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins';
added lines to wp-config for
define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://www.example.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://www.example.com’);
template is reset to "twentyseventeen"
deleted cookies
set WP_DEBUG and ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’ to true in wp-config, though still no errors show when trying to login and also no logfile is created in wp-content folder.
[wp_usermeta] wp_capabilities field for my user has value a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}, so I’m an admin
Repaired all MySQL database tables via mysqlcheck -r [database]

#StackBounty: #gnome #upgrade #20.04 #login #gdm GDM cannot show user after upgrade to 20.04

Bounty: 50

I just upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 on my workstation. It uses LDAP authentication. I already have an authenticated user. It used to be shown in GDM prior the upgrade. However after the upgrade only an admin account is shown.

I’m able to type in my username and password and can login. How can I make my user reappear in GDM? (I don’t want to change GDM to lightDM)
