I'm having a similar problem in Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit. I'm using AD authentication. If I lock the screen, and then put in the password to unlock, it quickly takes me back to the screensaver, and then if I move the mouse, it justs asks for the password again, and this can keep on cycling.
To get back to the session, in the Enter Password dialog, I select "Switch User", put in the same domain/user and password and it takes me into my session. This keeps happening from time to time and it fixes itself. Then it comes back again. -- gnome-screensaver dialog helper spins indefinitely, never unlocks the session, when GTK_IM_MODULE is set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
