The are a variety of reasons why gnome-screensaver is not unlocking, and I
suspect you each have a different reason.
I am closing this bug, as there is no way to diagnose it.
There are some debugging tips here:

Re Omer Preminger #29: My ecryptfs password matches my login passphrase,
so I must have a different reason for the screensaver problem.

The description matches what happens on my Dell Mini 9 with Ubuntu 10.10
(fresh install, not update).
I occasionally use an external monitor, but this also happens after a
cold start with no monitor attached. I have auto-login enabled. I have
set up an ecryptfs encrypted directory manually.

I think I might have pinpointed the cause of this one (or at least,
*one* cause), and it's a weird one:
I was having this same issue, and it has since gone away, and I failed
to pinpoint what exactly made things change -- until Antti Kaihola's
comment (number 28, above) made me remember. I had an

I've noticed whenever this happens that 'ps ax' lists _two_ instances of
gnome-screensaver-dialog. If I kill both and let the dialog respawn,
then only one is listed and I'm able to log in again.

I'm having system hang on trying to unlock screen, after a requested

I've had this occasionally with Jaunty, including just now. gnome-
screensaver was taking up 99% of CPU while it 'checked my password'.
Killing gnome-screensaver didn't work - the X window didn't redraw
itself, but just stayed stuck on a black screen with a white box where
the 'Checking your
I can confirm this behaviour on both intrepid and jaunty.
The behaviour initially started after enabling automatic user login (in
Administration-Login Window) although now it seems to not go away.
The problem is sporadic, affecting me around 50% of the time at present.

I used to see this on Hardy. I moved to Intrepid a few months back and
wasn't seeing this bug until this week.
Interestingly, this always happens when I enter a *wrong* password once at the
gnome-screensaver password prompt:
- Lock screen (settings: blank screen, lock when screensaver active).
-
Same issue here.
It doesn't always happen -- just sometimes.
It seems to only ever happen the first time I lock the screen for any
given day. If I don't log out and in again, it doesn't seem to happen
again.

I am still getting this. The password checking box eventually goes away and I
get back to my desktop. It can take a couple of minutes. When I get back I
notice that the load average monitor is full so it appears as if something is
hogging the machine and that is causing the screen-saver not to
confirming based on the comments of users.

I am getting this issue since I have moved to 8.10. I have noticed that
the checking does seem to take longer and just when I think I am going
to have to retype my password I get in. If it hangs on checking I can
kill X with ctrl-backspace. I haven't checked if I could switch to a
terminal and
It happened to me again this morning. I was able to go to console and
kill gnome-screensaver. When i got back to the gui I had to still kill a
crashed window of gnome-screensaver (it was just a white block). To be
able to lock my screen again I had to also start gnome-screensaver again
via cli.
I too am having this issue in the latest intrepid. will send more
details when it occurs again. is is possible to raise the importance of
this. normal users will not know what to do when this occurs and
probably just reboot and loose all their data

I have this same problem. After a restore from hibernate, the screen

unlock the screen. This started happening after the update of the tzdata
