I just upgraded lightdm from 1.26.0-8 to 1.32.0-2 and now the greeter wont let me

This can be found in the logs:

Jun 27 12:08:38 endurance lightdm[92114]: pam_nologin(lightdm:auth): unexpected response from failed conversation function

Jun 27 12:08:38 endurance lightdm[92114]: pam_nologin(lightdm:auth): cannot determine user name
So I suspect there is a bug somewhere in the stack.
Hi Arturo, it does look like there's something fishy from the "Invalid string
length 1869348864" (which looks way too high). Is that reproducible everytime
? Is there something specific/peculiar about your installation? I assume
you're using light-locker as your screen locker?
