Hi, At the moment I'm not @ home and doesn't have my notebook @ hand, only my PDA, tomorrow I'll be at home and try your way for reproducing the bug.
Thanks for your report! :-) -----Original Message----- From: Christophe TROESTLER <christophe.troest...@umons.ac.be> Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 20:52:39 To: <519...@bugs.debian.org> Subject: Bug#519061: xscreensaver: Won't unlock my screen at all due to apparent password difficulties. Hi, I have the same problem. Adding the lines @include common-password @include common-session at the end of /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver did not help. In /var/log/auth.log, I have the message : May 15 20:43:14 poincare xscreensaver: pam_unix(xscreensaver:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=:0.0 ruser= rhost= user=xxx May 15 20:43:16 poincare xscreensaver[2125]: FAILED LOGIN 1 ON DISPLAY ":0.0", FOR "xxx" On my machine, an operation that usually triggers the bug is to lock the screen by closing the lid (locking is activated through kpowersave) and unplugging then plugging back the AC power. A workaround is to switch to the console and then back to X. Any help will be appreciated.
