Title: Password does not unlock screen Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver On some machines I have 10.40 installed on gnome-screensaver does not unlock screen with the correct password. With switch user I can go to login screen and use that very same password to go back to the Gnome session. I can reproduce this, every time I hit Control+Alt+L screen locks, and password does not unlock it. Workaround is to switch user and login back to the account with the locked session. taleman@myrsky:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
