Re: [Bug 1311316] Re: After locking screen there is no input field to type password for unlock

 

1) Maybe I'm just derping, but how do I run gnome-screensaver?

$ ps -ef | grep -i screensaver
peek     24604 24163  0 08:51 pts/47   00:00:00 grep -i screensaver
$ gnome-screensaver

** (gnome-screensaver:24665): WARNING **: screensaver already running in
this session

2) If this is an LDAP issue, then why does it only affect 1 out of my
110 users?


I thank you guys for your hard work on this, and if there is anything I
can do to help track down the source of the problem let me know.

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Sometimes (but not always) after locking the screen there is the
  situation not having any input field where I can type the password to
  unlock the session again. The shaded gray area simply does not have
  the input field. I can't do anything, I have to switch to text console
  and stop/start lightdm service to cure the problem loosing all of my
  session :(
