[Bug 882893] Re: gnome-screensaver 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 failed to exit

 

Another "workaround" for this issue is to be "very patient and hit enter a few times while the screen is frozen". After a while (minutes) the password screen appears. 

I've seen this happen to another guy in the office and he makes a hard
reboot every time (figures it is a complete freeze)

Title:
  gnome-screensaver 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 failed to exit

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On older PC (Intel P4 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM), I am seeing this lockup with
  default settings.

  Ubuntu 11.10, Unity-2D, latest patch/updates loaded.

  Occurs when I wait for timeout, and screen blanks.   Does NOT occur
  when select screen-lock (from GUI, or keyboard)

  I have now two separate PCs, with identical results.

  
  Note: login screen (lightdm) is not susceptible to this issue.
