confirm here on feisty with gnome-screensaver 2.17.4-0ubuntu1 I tried to run: kill `pidof gnome-screensaver`;gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug > ~/Desktop/screensaver_debug.log But infortunately, has I had to switch to virtual console and killall gnome-scrennsaver, the logs were empty.
by the way, this is /usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver-dialog --enable-switch which locks on 'checking' but killing only this process will respawn it. Therefore we need to kill gnome-screensaver. Hope this helps -- screen does not unlock after locking https://launchpad.net/bugs/76632 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
