Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

Using one of the "stock" Ubuntu kernels (2.6.17-10-generic or 2.6.17-11-generic), set up an encrypted user with cryptsetup and libpam-mount (to login using user password) using instructions such as these:

http://www.pasteserver.net/317

Compile and install a custom kernel (such as the one provided by linux-source or a vanilla kernel). Use current config from /boot if you wish.

gdm will not log in the encrypted user on the new kernel, the encrypted volume mounts but there is a black screen and you are returned to the login screen. kdm or xdm both work. Booting the previous kernel and gdm works as expected.

Thank you for your bug. Using a non-official kernel, we don't have the ressources on that at the moment, marking wishlist

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the development version of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron?

Thanks in advance.
