Workaround: Alt-F6 to switch to a text terminal login there sudo pkill -9 gnome-screensav F7 to switch back to GUI
The screen is unlocked. Note, even pkill -9 gnome-screensav should be enough I think (wihtou sudo), because I saw gnome-screensav is run from the same non-root user. Maybe even pkill gnome-screensav But I the tested variant is `sudo pkill -9 gnome-screensav`, I haven't tried the simplified variant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848228 Title: Impossible to unlock because keyboard language doesn't switch Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: My password has latin characters. When my keyboard is switched to russian, after screen is locked, it is impossible to unlock. The screensaver lock screen has a language indicator and allows to switch the indicator. But it's still impossible to unlock. I believe the real keyboard layout doesn't switch, only the indicator switches on screen.
