I'm glad I found this bug report. My xscreensaver has been doing the same thing. I changed the group on /etc/shadow from 'root' to 'shadow' and it resolved the issue. I don't recall ever having touched the shadow file, as I never have a need to fool with it. Dunno if some other process may have touched it. I do recall xscreensaver working a long time ago; I just hadn't used it often. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992623 Title: xscreensaver doesn't accept correct password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/992623/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
