[Bug 479660] [NEW] Screensaver can't handle change password in 14 days message
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver I have my computer joined to a Microsoft domain which has a 90 day password change policy. When my account gets within 14 days of that password expired time, I get a Your password will expire in 14 days at the Ubuntu terminal login (Alt-F1) and when I originally log into Ubuntu I see a quick flash of the same message. However, when I come back to my computer after the screensaver has kicked in and I have set the screensaver to lock, I can't log into the desktop until I change my password at a Windows machine. If I click on switching users, I can log into the same desktop session by typing my same domain\username and password at a gdm type login. sudo and gksudo work just fine during this time.

[Bug 81636] GDM has no screensaver
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm I rebooted my computer (Edgy Eft) after work and returned the next morning to see a burned in image from the gdm login screen. I found a possible way to correct the behavior at http://gentoo- wiki.com/TIP_Screensaver_in_Background quote GDM OK, first thing is to set up gdm (I use 2.5.90.1, but it looks like 2.4.1.7 should work). As root, launch gdmsetup and set local login to standard greeter with no background. Then open xscreensaver-demo, find your favourite screensaver, hit Settings, Advanced, and note down the command line. Convert the program to a full path - if it isn't in your path, it's probably in /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver. Then, edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, find the BackgroundProgram line and set it to something like: File: /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf BackgroundProgram=/usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/skyrocket --root or # BackgroundProgram=/usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/xmatrix -root -small -delay 2 Now restart gdm /etc/init.d/xdm restart and watch the screensaver paint the root window behind the login box! What other OS can do that? Note, to make this works after you log in remove nautilus from your session so that it wont start when you log into gnome, this will leave you with the default grey background... but you can now run xscreensaver as a background, along with Xearth Xplanet and Xaquarium. /quote ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- GDM has no screensaver https://launchpad.net/bugs/81636 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
