  New

Bug description:
  1. Description of the problem:

  gnome-settings-daemon segfaults in smartcard-plugin when using smartcard authentication
  login takes ~ 30 seconds to go from PIN to desktop when using smartcard authentication
  Upstream issue: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668950

  2. Ubuntu release, software version, Release Number and Architecture
  of the selected components.

  gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.1-0ubuntu1.1

  3. How reproducible is the problem?

  100%

  4. Steps to Reproduce:
   4.1. Setup smartcard authentication.
   4.2. Login to Ubuntu desktop using default settings

   a. Actual Results:

  Login takes a long time.  Research reveals that the gnome-settings-
  daemon segfaults

   b. Expected Results:

  Login should proceed in a timely fashion.  gnome-settings-daemon
  should start normally.

  5. Known Workaround:

  Disabling the gnome-settings-daemon smartcard plugin works around this
  issue.

  ---

  $ cat /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/lvm-smartcard.gschema.override
  [org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.smartcard]
  active=false

  When done adding overrides, compile the schemas:

  # glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

  6. Business Impact and customer deadlines:

  PSE Customer is preparing large-scale (>3000 machines) deployment of
  Precise. It would be nice if the default desktop configuration worked
  correctly.
