Ubuntu – PowerBroker (Likewise-Open) + Ubuntu 13.04 -> 13.10 Upgrade

13.10active-directorylikewise

I just upgraded Ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10, and now I can't log into Active Directory; my system is integrated using PowerBroker Identity Services (PBIS), which used to be called Likewise-Open.

So far I have identified the following symptoms:

  • I am able to log in with my credentials via ssh.
  • The screen goes black when attempting log into my account via the login screen.

I've tried leaving the domain, purging PBIS, and re-installing the latest version of PBIS. I've been trying the troubleshooting section I found here, but I haven't had any success.

The relevant portion of the auth.log

I found this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/likewise-open/+bug/1162836

I had the same problem where after I finally logged in, my $PATH variable was a ways off from what the local user. Per that bug, I updated /etc/pam.d/common-session and made the following change the line:

session sufficient pam_lsass.so

to:

session [success=ok default=ignore] pam_lsass.so

I did not need to create the symlinks to init as a workaround either after making this change. I am now able to successfully log in as my Active Directory user with PBIS 7.5.2
