Yeah I made sure it is using the latest commit. The error I'm seeing is different from before that commit. Before it was Authentication failure, now it is Permission denied.

Strange that it says gkr-pam, which means gnome-keyring AFAIK.

@hgaiser: Just to make sure, did you pull the latest PKGBUILD change with the new PAM config file?

FYI, if one allows AUR helpers to update VCS packages, it's possible that one might have already pulled the latest upstream commit which might be the same as the current version in the PKGBUILD. If that's the case, one might need to manually delete the cached package, do a git pull and rebuild.

@yochananmarqos thanks! I seem to get the same error with the latest update compared to when I changed the PKGBUILD myself:

Any idea why?

@hgaiser: Done, thanks for the heads up.

There is a new pam config file that needs to be packaged. See here for more information.

I got following error when boot

It seems commit ef1253a is the cause, change service back to login to make it boot normally

The smudge error can be worked around with export GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 before you run the install.

I can install other Cosmic packages like cosmic-edit-git, but I can't install cosmic-session-git because it depends on cosmic-greeter-git

@yochananmarqos: thanks for the fix. This packaging error was driving me crazy :D
