First time I hear about this. All the update did was fix a path on the
apparmor profile, assuming you were running 1.9.4-0ubuntu4.1. And I know
nothing about Mint.
903752 has nothing to do with this, it's just a meta-bug about moving
sssd in the 'main' repository, making it officially supported and
available to the installer and such in the future.
Hi, all I can say is that about 17:45 GMT yesterday, I allowed a list of
sssd updates to go ahead, I use Linux Mint 15 but as this is based on
Ubuntu 13.04 the updates came from Ubuntu. I left it to update and when
I came back, the screensaver had kicked in and could not get back in. I
had to power off the machine by pressing and holding the power button.
When I did get the machine to restart, all the domain users had
seemingly gone. I finally traced the fault to the fact that sssd had
crashed, hung, call it what you will, it had a pid but did not shown in
'ps ax'. I tried to purge sssd but could not, the terminal just hung and
in the end I had to power off the computer again. I had to download and
install 1.10.1 over the already installed sssd packages, force-ably
power off the machine again and restart. Everything now worked just like
before the update, ergo it must have been the update that was at fault.
