Hi so this actually looks like it may be a problem with pam_console.so and not GDM. Basically pam_console checks to make sure the display socket is around before unref'n console priveleges. Of course, if the user ctrl-alt-backspaces then the display socket will be wiped. Created attachment 105500 [details]
Don't check existance of TTY when dropping console perms
Here's a patch that inhibits the checks when dropping console perms. It needs
to be reviewed by someone who knows pam better than me.
I think the patch should be harmless however I'll modify it to skip the check only on X logins not console logins. patch in rawhide seems to work fine, closing... |
