Comment 28 for bug 625239

I'm an Ubuntu amateur, so believe what Steve says over what I say. He's no amateur.

I don't think the message "requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "bilal" " is a problem. I see from the forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=819198 that this is a requirement that a userid like "guest" might meet so that no password is required for that particular userid. Userid's requiring passwords should not be in this group. If I'm right, and if the userid bilal and oem require passwords, that particular message in the log would be expected.

The reason I suggested in now closed duplicate bug #529230 that someone look in the auth file was to look for evidence that the getty program , responsible for getting people logged in on virtual consoles 1-6, was active seeing keystrokes coming from the xsession and getting confused. This only happens if x is started on tty1-tty6, as is happening to Jamie. See Steve's comment 18 above.

This probably isn't happening to Bilal. His xorg.0.log.old has the X crash and that log says it started on vt7. Andres says his crashing X is starting on vt7.

I haven't gotten my head around dino99's report, but I don't think most people who have had this problem have had a problem with authentication, only with interference with x, either from plymouth (which should have quit just before X started, if I'm correct), or from getty. In the case of getty, I think the interference only crashes X after getty thinks, mistakenly, that it has seen several login attempts and restarts. It messes with the virtual terminal when it does that and that does in X when you next press the 2 or enter key. That might be the reason for Jamie's delay before the crash.
