Antonio:
Right up front I'll say I have no idea about the various problems you
report (apparently) from having used fedup.
However, this last one, you almost certainly DO NOT need to reset the
machine. If I read you right, it's stuck in the screensaver, you can't
authenticate to get back to your login.
If that's right, you can do one of at least a couple different things:
1. try CTRL-ALT-BKSP, which should kill your X session and return it to
a login. Note that this only happens if that response to CTRL-ALT-BKSP
hasn't been disabled by default.
2. switch to another VT, log in, kill the X session that's stuck.
3. probably a dozen other choices that don't come to mind right now.
In my F19 system, CTRL-ALT-BKSP seems to be disabled by default. you
can enable it in the gnome tweak tool. click "typing" and in the resulting
list select "Key sequence to kill the X server", set it to
"Control + Alt + Backspace. then the next time you have this kind of
fail, just do the 3-finger-salute and voila.
