Description Giulio 'juliuxpigface' 2015-07-08 19:11:50 UTC
Description of problem:
I can't unlock a locked session on mate.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mate-screensaver-1.10.1-2.fc23.i686

How reproducible:
Happens everytime I try to reproduce it


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 20150704 Nightly Rawhide (Mate i686 spin) inside a qemu-kvm guest
2. Log in as user in a graphical session
3. Press the button 'Lock Screen', from the menu 'System'
4. Type the correct password inside the dialog
5. Press the appropriate button to unlock

Actual results:
The screen remains locked

Expected results:
The screen should be unlocked, since the password is correct.

Additional info:
Is it an issue related to virtualization?

Comment 1 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2015-07-08 19:28:35 UTC
I don't know.
Please use stable releases and not rawhide a month after f22 release.
Sorry, i'm the only mate maintainer in fedora and i don't start to work on rawhide reports before f23 beta :)
I'm not a redhat employee and all i do for mate in fedora is in my free time.

Comment 2 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2015-07-08 20:27:30 UTC
closed because of fake email address

Comment 3 Giulio 'juliuxpigface' 2015-07-08 20:33:56 UTC
Sorry, I didn't understand.

Which email address are you talking about?

Run

killall mate-screensaver
mate-screensaver --debug

reproduce the issue and post the terminal error here, you may need to kill the screensaver from another VT to get back in.
Also post .xsession-errors

Comment 5 Giulio 'juliuxpigface' 2015-07-09 18:26:49 UTC
@All: I've just found that abrt catches the issue ("mate-screensaver-dialog killed by SIGSEGV") and so it might provide interesting information. I'm sorry I haven't noticed it before. Here's the link of the retrace: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/bthash/77b7d2e726e67e7a33746771875f67144b49e454

I'm posting some attachments, but feel free to ask me further.

@Leigh: thank you for your comment, I'll provide the requested bits in a while.

@Wolfgang: I'm just doing release validation testing for Fedora QA. Nobody forces you to fix this bug promptly, because Mate is not a release blocking desktop. But I'd suggest not to close this report, otherwise we'll probably forget about the issue before F23 beta reaches the light.

another report for the record, which will never happends if all lowlevel stuff will run fine in f23.

Comment 12 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2015-07-17 13:26:55 UTC
works here out of box with inatallation from nightly build f23 from 2015-07-16 in virtualmanager qemu-kvm :)

Tested with Fedora 23 20150717 (i686, qemu-kvm).
I confirm that the issue isn't present on that build.
