Public bug reported: Summary:
If one stops udev, gnome-screensaver will accept any password for unlocking the screen... even if one restarts udev (i.e. to test a new udev rule) To Reproduce: (1) Run /etc/init.d/udev stop (2) Run /etc/init.d/udev start (3) Lock screen (4) Type gibberish into password box What happens: Screen unlocks What should happen: The screen should stay locked. At worst it should display an error and refuse to accept any password, but it certainly shouldn't just unlock with any password. ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Visibility changed to: Public -- Stopping udev causes gnome-screensaver to accept any password https://launchpad.net/bugs/65615 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
