Hide Forgot
Occasionally, after Gnome Shell locks the screen due to idle time, attempts to unlock the screen by moving the mouse or pressing keyboard keys do not result in the authentication screen being shown to the user. Instead, a black screen is shown with only the clock and username applets. Other ttys are accessible via Alt+F? shortcuts, but the only way I've found to restore the frozen tty is by killing the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. Please let me know what log info to enable to assist in solving this problem!
I have the exact same problem I'm using a thinkpad t60 with the r300g driver (Fedora 15)
Also having same problem - happens to me all the time - not just occasionally.
Slight amendment actually. If I change to a different virtual screen (Control-Alt-F2) and then back to the X screen then the unlock dialog appears and will successful unlock the screen.
Same here on 3 different systems. Typing the password unlocks the screen though (even if nothing is visible while typing). Oh and this is in F16 (too).
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
