I can log into a box via ssh using an ssh key, passwordless.

I have set my password using sudo passwd myusername and I get the success message passwd: password updated successfully.

When I try to log into the GUI console using that password I get two beeps (sounds like a failure tone I think) and it just goes back to the list of users.

Are there some tricks that might be disallowing my user from logging on via the console? How would I even debug the issue? I don't see anything obvious in dmesg.
