Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1023912
Multiple screensavers lock screen, cannot be unlocked
Last modified: 2015-02-17 12:50:15 EST
Description of problem: When the screen is automatically locked using Gnome 3, an alternative blue background screensaver appears which cannot be unlocked, instead the usual one. Terminals cannot be used via ctrl+alt+F2 etc., and ctrl+backspace does not return a working login screen. Possibly related to bug 1019405 [1]. However Cinnamon and cinnamon-screensaver are no longer installed, and cinnamon-screensaver process isn't running. I don't know why there are apparently 2 different screensavers. I have KDE desktop installed, perhaps this is related. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019405 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-screensaver 3.6.1 How reproducible: Irregular Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable auto screen locking on monitor switchoff. 2. Close laptop lid to hibernate. 3. Open lid to awaken 4. Observe the unusual blue background lockscreen 5. Attempt to unlock with password Actual results: Screen is unresponsive and unlockable Expected results: Screen is unlocked Additional info: Cinnamon is not installed.
