Description of problem: This issue covers the following case: 1. Smart cards are enabled. 2. The screensaver is active. 3. The user does NOT have the smart card plugged in. When the user moves the mouse, the screensaver takes the user to a dialog where the user is told the following: "Please insert your smartcard called ..." Along with those instructions the user is also given a text box into which a useless password can be entered. It would be better to not have the password dialog available at this time. Also, would it be useful to have some kind of descriptive icon present to let the user know that they have to re-insert the smart card in order to regain control of the computer? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-screensaver-2.18.0-6.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable smart card login. 2. Remove the smart card. 3. Jiggle the mouse, bringing the screensaver to life. Actual results: The user is shown a dialog with a text box with no description that accepts any input and has no function. Expected results: The user should be asked to put the card back in. Possibly an icon of some kind could help the user here as well. Additional info:
hmmm, must be a rawhide regression. At one point we hid the entry until it was needed, and then later we changed it to desensitize the entry until needed.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
