Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
After I hibernate my ubuntu machine I cannot log back in to the X session.
A dialog comes up offering : switch user/cancel/unlock. If I attempt unlock,
it fails & returns to the same dialog.
Logging in on a vterm (Ctrl-Alt-F1) enabled me to check /var/logs/auth.log,
which shows an authentication failure in the screensaver, and killing the
screensaver process let me back into the session. This was happening
consistently for quite a while whenever I hibernated. Now I have disabled the
screensaver, and the problem has gone. I have the impression that I found a
message somewhere that suggested that the screensaver process was unable to
read the input stream, but i can't now find it.
