[Bug 1561302] Re: gdm won't allow passwordless login

[J. J. Ramsey]

"J.J, that is going to continue to be a problem even after this is
fixed, with passwordless login (once the casper patch lands), you don't
have a chance to select the session either, since it skips the password
step."

That's an unfortunate regression, since the previous LTS release of
Ubuntu GNOME didn't have that problem.

If that regression can't be fixed, though, a note of that problem
definitely should be in the release notes for Ubuntu GNOME's next
release.

Title:
  gdm won't allow passwordless login

Status in gdm:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  Triaged
Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Live session user does not have a password set, however gdm won't
  allow login in this case since the "Sign In" button is disabled.

  Normally this should be too much of an issue, since the login screen
  should only be hit on logout from the live session, some people are
  reporting hitting the gdm login screen on boot due to ubiquity-dm
  failing to boot.
