I am experiencing the exact same issue and Saramburu solution doesn't work for me. It must be because of recent updates since this issue only started today and I was able to unlock my screen many times a day just recently.
This is a major problem for me since I have another bug when I switch sessions causing vertical green lines on my screen. The only workaround is to restart my X session and it made me loose my work setup each time. For now, I unchecked the screensaver option to lock the screen. This is not related to the screensaver (in my case) because I also get this problem when locking the screen manually from the start menu. What missing information do you need to be able to solve it? I can reproduce it easily. I am on Jaunty Jackalope with Gnome 2.26.1. -- Gnome screensaver lock always reports "incorrect password" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353356 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
