[Bug 260744] Re: no login possible after installing kubuntu-desktop

[Montblanc]

I'm affected by this bug after upgrading Kubuntu Oneiric to Precise by
changing every "oneiric" occurrence to "precise" in sources.list and
then running a dist-upgrade (because my environment was not triggering
an available upgrade notification).

Something weird has happened in PAM, since it's trying to look for my
user with a wrong uid.

I can login with "startx /usr/bin/startkde" only, but then I would get
authentication failures everywhere I'm asked to input my password for
root privileges, unless I run the same commands from terminal with sudo.

I wrote in the Kubuntu forums:
