Created attachment 270960 Stuck password prompt
Hi.
I'm running an up-to-date Debian SID. Recently, all gnome-related password prompts have failed me, including gdm3's password field, evolutions's and seahorse's.
In practice: at log-in time, I am asked to select my user account (I select it) and to enter my password. I enter the password, then click "log in". That log-in button turns greyer, and nothing else happens. I can still click in the top menu bar to see how much battery is left, or I can click "cancel", in which case I'm back at the user selection part of the login page.
Now, if I log in manually (kill gdm, startx) and lauch evolution, it will say I didn't unlock the keyring, and prompts for my password. Again, clicking "unlock" leaves me with the only choice to click cancel.
The same problem happens if I ask seahorse to unlock my keyring.
I have not been able to investigate what the reason for the bug could be. ltrace/strace haven't been very useful...
Besides that, I can use xdm, sudo, and other unrelated password-prompting tools without problem.
