Description of problem: When I close my laptop lid, or lock screen on my Fedora 15 i686 , I can not unlock it! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I used the default Fedora-15-i686 Gnome liveCD for installation, and then I updated the system. The system is all up to date! How reproducible: lock-screen. Actual results: I enter the password correctly, but the system doesn't accept it, and replies with "authentication failed" message. The language and the capslock status are correctly selected. Expected results: To unlock screen Additional info: I have a workaround, which is to click on the "switch-user" button, and then enter the right password in the main login screen, and everything goes fine from there!
I have this same problem now in Fedora 16: Linux serenity 3.3.0-8.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 29 18:37:19 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Switch-user button lets me login normally.
And now everything is fine again.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
