Public bug reported: When the screen is locked by running the gnome-screensaver, if you input your password, and close the lid to suspend, the password will be remembered.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1) Lock Screen (Ctrl+Alt+L) 2) Type your password, but do NOT press Enter. 3) Close the laptop's lid. This will suspend that laptop. 4) Wake up laptop from suspend 5) Password that was typed in step 2) is still remembered. WHAT DO I EXPECT TO HAPPEN: 4) Wake-up from suspend 5) Re-type password (password should not be remembered) Now, this could be a trouble since there might be a day when you were about to unlock the screen so you typed your password. however, you changed your mind and closed the lid. Unfortunately, any person that opens the lid and waking up from suspend will be able to login since the password was remembered by gnome-screensaver. This seem to only happen in Ubuntu 12.04 -------------------------------------------------------------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-screensaver 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu May 3 09:42:17 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes GnomeSessionIdleInhibited: No GnomeSessionInhibitors: None GsettingsGnomeSession: org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay uint32 600 org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'ubuntu' InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-screensaver UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) WindowManager: No value set for `/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager' ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994094 Title: Password inputed in screensaver is retained after suspending the laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/994094/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
