[Bug 435928] Re: Password works in virtual terminal but not in Gnome screensaver
For me this happened after a copy of files from one partition to another (with cp). The solution was: chmod +s /sbin/unix_chkpwd The cause was: the default options of cp don't keep setuid bits, -- Password works in virtual terminal but not in Gnome screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435928 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I checked for this solution around the web, and it looks like the ownership and permissions are already correct: $ ls -la /sbin/unix_chkpwd -rwxr-sr-x 1 root shadow 30400 2009-09-04 10:26 /sbin/unix_chkpwd $ stat -c %a /sbin/unix_chkpwd 2755 I should note that I'm using only a single login on this machine, and still this bug is not completely reproducible. -- Password works in virtual terminal but not in Gnome screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435928 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Bug still present on Ubuntu NBR 9.10, with gnome-screensaver 2.28.0-0ubuntu3. Workaround discussed at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1741067/see-gnome-terminal-output- in-virtual-console.

[Bug 435928] Re: Password works in virtual terminal but not in Gnome screensaver
A workaround is to kill gnome-screensaver, but it's not restarted automatically, so screen locking (Ctrl+Alt+L) doesn't work anymore. Is there some trick to see which password is actually sent to the underlying code? I suspect the problem can be with some sort of garbling because of the keyboard layout (USA Dvorak International), or somehow an empty password being sent. -- Password works in virtual terminal but not in Gnome screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435928 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This still happens once in a while, and seems to only happen if the computer is left for a while in screensaver mode (at least an hour seems to be the lower limit).
