I'm running Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat (10.10) installed on a USB pendrive. I experience this problem consistently, that is, I cannot get Ubuntu to prompt for entering a password after resuming a locked screen in any way.
By default the installation comes with a default user account 'ubuntu' without a password. I've created another user account with a password via the System -> Administration -> Users and Groups dialog, to make sure this behaviour is not a result of the (default) user account having no password configured. I've selected the "Lock screen when screensaver is active" checkbox in the Screensaver Preferences. I've tested waiting for the screensaver to become active (after 1 minute), and I've tested by manually locking the screen (Ctrl+Alt+L). None of the efforts resulted in the prompting of a password. I've followed this tutorial to create the USB pendrive: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ But used the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso instead of 7.10. In step 17, some files/directories (disctree, ubuntu.ico, casper/initrd.gz --> casper/initrd.lz) in the 'cp' command-line had to be omitted or altered. After step 20 I had to modify the syslinux.cfg contained in U710fix.zip (renamed every instance of initrd.gz to initrd.lz). I hope someone can follow the same tutorial in order to get the same environment, and verify the behaviour described. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498694 Title: sometimes resume from suspend doesn't ask for password, instead goes to straight to the desktop instead. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
