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

 

Andrea Azzarone (andyrock)...  This problem happens about every other
day.  It appears to be relatively random, but quite often. Here is the
output from "ls -l /sbin/unix_chkpwd"

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root shadow 35536 Jan 31  2014 /sbin/unix_chkpwd

And attached is my auth.log (auth.log.zip).

  If you can reproduce this bug please be sure to provide the following info:
  1. Do you use a multi-head setup? If yes, using just one monitor fixes the issue?
  2. Can you reproduce all the time?
  3. Do you use ldap? If yes, using gnome-screensaver fix the issue (see comment #115) can you still reproduce that?

  *** END IMPORTANT **

  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 :(
