Korora Lock Screen: Invalid Password

gjacobse

So I ran into a problem with my Korora install earlier today. Good thing that nothing was really on it,.. at all. Re-Installed.

So now I'm back to it,.. remembering my current password - and run into this issue with the Lock Screen -

Password is invalid

Repeated attempts to sign back in fail. So I click on the Other User icon:

and sign in perfectly fine.

What in the world?

Same exact thing happened to me.

Does this happen on a clean install before updating?

At least three people have run into this. Something funky going on there.

After updates and a reboot, this issue went away for me.

Was updating other things and not this when it was fixed after a later reboot.

Let me try this ^ & see, will report back in a few mins.

Yeah, I wanted to troubleshoot it, but it was suddenly resolved.

Curious

I have performed an update but have not restarted.
I'll do that next - in the morning and comment as well.

Update & reboot does not work for me.
Only way I can login is as "root", standard user login fails.

once you click the people heads, it should go back to the normal login screen and log in normally.

When I logout it takes me back to the screen w the blue background.

I have 2 Korora 25 installs:
One on my MBP, I can only login as root.
One on Workstation 12, this works fine.

Both of mine work fine.

@JaredBusch I guess I'll be re-installing the MBP.

Thank you, the reboot did work on this one.

Will try a few lock cycles just to confirm.
