Anyone have suggestions for this:
I upgraded my Ubuntu system to 14.04, and the upgrade failed miserably. I was forced to restart the system in order to get to a login. After following several suggestions on restarting an upgrade, I appear to have a system that is basically working, but I cannot log into the GUI, am forced to CTL+ALT+F1 (or F2-F6) to get a command line login.
Th GUI reaction is to take the first attempt at entering a password, then responds with "Logging in..." directly below the user name that is logging in. That's it, it just sits there. If an attempt to use the mouse changes the name, the message goes away, but the GUI no longer accepts any more passwords.
The clue I have (and am hoping that is not a red-herring) is that the following appears in the /var/log/auth.log
(I've removed timestamp, system name and user id):
lightdm: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_kwallet.so): /lib/security/pam_kwallet.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
lightdm: PAM adding faulty module: pam_kwallet.so
lightdm: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "userid"
I've tried several update commands, restarts, reboots, and clean-ups. Any suggestions?
