| Summary | 0000652: kernel-6.12.0-211.34.1 regression: Login authentication failure due to gnome-keyring-daemon socket unavailability | ||||
| Description | Kernel 6.12.0-211.34.1 introduces a regression in the login flow. When attempting to log in via GDM, the display manager briefly flashes to console and either fails authentication or requires multiple login attempts. Kernel 6.12.0-211.33.1 works without issues. Lenovo X1 Carbon. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Boot kernel 6.12.0-211.34.1.el10_2 2. Attempt to log in via GDM 3. Observe console flash and authentication failure Expected Behavior: Login succeeds on first attempt without display manager crashes or console flashes. Actual Behavior: GDM flashes to console during login First login attempt fails with: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): authentication failure PAM logs show: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file GDM appears to restart, then "stashed password" succeeds 0000007:0000009 seconds later Kernel .33 exhibits none of these symptoms | ||||
| Additional Information | Root Cause: The gnome-keyring-daemon PAM module cannot locate the daemon control socket during the pre-login phase. This suggests kernel .34 has changed session/user runtime directory initialization timing or UID permission handling, preventing gdm (uid 42) from accessing the keyring socket.
