This can be also reproduced by running "dm-tool switch-to-greeter", so it is in fact an issue in the lightdm-gtk-greeter code or in lightdm. The greeter queries lightdm several times to get the status of the lock hint, which is not set when switching to the greeter (SwitchToGreeter).
The following patch for lightdm-gtk-greeter removes these calls: http://pastebin.ca/2520577 However, setting the lock hint might be the better and cleaner solution, because the user session actually gets locked in this scenario. ** Summary changed: - lightdm not aware of session lock + switch-to-greeter does not set lock hint ** Package changed: light-locker (Ubuntu) => lightdm (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: lightdm-gtk-greeter Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264563 Title: switch-to-greeter does not set lock hint To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/1264563/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
