hi, i've just done a fresh install of Lubuntu saucy 13.10 and I can confirm that lightdm is not keeping the system locked.
Comment #8 is correct. - lock the screen with "Shutdown > Lock Screen" ; - on lightdm screen, just do ctrl+alt+F7 : you arrive on the desktop, without typing any password. I believe it's a security issue once anyone is able to log into your machine without typing any password. let me know if you need more info. the guy from webupd8 also got the bug at his article: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/see-whats-new-in-1310-release-of.html from the article: " XScreensaver has been removed (LightDM is now used for screen locking but there's a pretty serious bug here unless I'm missing something: if you switch to TTY7 after locking the screen - using Ctrl + Alt + 7 -, you can access the desktop without having to unlock the screen so without having to enter any password!); " best regards, ibere ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205384 Title: Lock can be circumvented by switching to console Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lxsession” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1)lock your screen using "dm-tool switch-to-greeter" or "dm-tool lock" 2)switch to console via ctrl+alt+F1 3)switch back to X via ctrl+alt+F7 Result: session is unlocked without entering a password Expected behaviour: session should still be locked when switching back to X ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: lightdm 1.7.7-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.10.0-5.15-generic 3.10.2 Uname: Linux 3.10.0-5-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.11-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Jul 26 17:30:23 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-07-26 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Alpha i386 (20130723.1) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1205384/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
