[Bug 1393624] [NEW] Lock screen rejects password on Ubuntu 14.04

 

Public bug reported:

Password is systematically rejected on the lock screen. However, if I
click Switch account, the *greeter* does accept the same password.

This issue is reproducible either by hitting the Ctrl+Alt+L shortcut key or by runnibg
`gnome-screensaver-command -l`

This happens after I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04.
I had ATI Radeon HD 3870 with open source drivers, now I have GeForce GTX 750 Ti with NVIDIA proprietary drivers. Same thing.

Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Linux 3.13.0-39-generic x86_64
