This is a key bit: Jan 17 07:54:33 workstation gnome-session[2959]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11
The lock screen is integrated into the compositor (gnome-shell) in 3.6. An unfortunate side effect of this is that if the compositor crashes, it will get auto-restarted, and we "fail open". In prior versions of GNOME, "gnome-screensaver" was an indepenent process. Clearly it would make sense to attempt to preserve the "screen is locked" state, but that'd still allow a window in which the session was accessible. The real fix here is to figure out why gnome-shell is crashing and ensure it doesn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064584 Title: Locked gnome session unlocks without password authentication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1064584/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
