[Bug 1309918] [NEW] Upgrading Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 leads to broken logins

Hello,

I just upgraded Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 with the ISO Image. When Upgrading I was asked to create a new user. That suprised me, but anyway, I followed the instructions and the upgrading lead me finally to the login screen. I was missing all user accounts, but the one I created new. This new one works fine, even though I was recreating the same administration account as on Ubuntu 12.04. Because of the missing accounts, I created new user accounts, with the same names as on Ubuntu 12.04.
Now, I realized that I can not login to any of these accounts! It is simply aborted with no error message at all. I assumed this must be an upgrade error and created a completly new account. This account works fine. So can anyone confirm on this behavior?

This computer is not very essential to me, so I can leave it as it is
for a few days and if there are any responces I can provide you with
further information.


Regards,
Philipp
