Public bug reported: When I lock the screen (strg-alt-l) or the sreensaver locked the screen atomatically, I can't unlock the the screen by typing in the correct password. The Screensaver reports 'password not correct'. I can only lock in to the existing session by chosing 'change user' and doing the lock in from there. I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The File shadow has the permissions witch are mentioned in BUG #34775. But the file is not in /etc/shadow, that does not exist. It is directly in /etc.
