Description of problem: Update the latest update I cannot unlock screen anymore. The lock screen looks like it changed, now I see current time on a black background which I didn't see before. When I try to unlock screen I get a window to input the password. There is no way I can get the password input box in focus so I can type the password. The 'Unlock' button works when clicked with the mouse. My workaround is to login in a different session with Ctrl+Alt+F2 and restart gnome shell. This happend to me 3 times out of 4 today after I've updated the system. Also note that one time the password field had the focus from the beginning so I could enter the password and ulock the screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell 3.8.4-2.fc19 How reproducible: Does not happen all the time. I just let the screen lock and then try to unlock it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Let the screen lock 2. Try to unlock it 3. Sometimes can not enter password because I can't get the password field in focus Actual results: Cannot enter password Expected results: I can enter password and unlock screen Additional info:
More details. The lock screen option was actually off. When I enable it then I get the unlock screen twice. First time, I can enter the password and go passed it, and then the second time with the clock in the background when it doesn't work.
Problem solved by uninstalling Cinnamon. I had both Gnome and Cinnamon installed. After I've removed cinnamon the problem went away. Thanks.
The Cinnamon screensaver problem is bug 1019405
