[Bug 1385441] Re: Can't unlock the screen in Ubuntu 14.10
Same problem for me.
Lock screen works fine, but if I try to unlock after few minutes, I got the password prompt again.
I got access to my Ubuntu laptop (14.10) only forcing a power cycle, pressing the power button for 5 seconds.
Local user for me as well and it's probably hard to troubleshoot seen I cannot do anything but trying login.
FYI: If I put the wrong password, it recognizes the password is wrong.
If you need any further info from my side, please let me know.
Thanks
GF

Can't unlock the screen in Ubuntu 14.10

Bug description:
The bug is similar to the one reported in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1314095 (Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account)
The difference is that I don't have an LDAP account just a local one, the box was working well in 14.04 and after upgrade to 14.10 I can't unlock the screen.
Changing /sbin/unix_chkpwd to setuid does the trick too.
