[SOLVED] Authentication failure on GDM

I cannot login through GDM. The message is "Authentication Failure". I think it all started when upgrading do gnome 2.18.

/var/log/auth.log

Nov  5 21:20:51 matrux gdm-session-worker[17549]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost=  user=cadu
Nov  5 21:21:03 matrux gdm-session-worker[17554]: pam_nologin(gdm:auth): cannot determine username

/etc/pam.d/gdm

Re: [SOLVED] Authentication failure on GDM

I changed the keyboard layout at the bottom and it worked!
