Package: gnome-screensaver Version: 2.22.2-2 Severity: important
Perhaps once a month, gnome-screensaver will take my password and then just sit there "Checking..." my password. I have let this sit up to 5 minutes before, to no avail. The only way I can get out of it (short of maybe zapping X) is to ssh in from another machine and kill gnome-screensaver. Today, I ssh'd in and noticed a `gnome-screensaver-dialog' running, so I attached with gdb and got this backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 0x00007f51d43cdb56 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007f51d48b2e18 in g_main_context_iterate (context=0x644830, block=1, dispatch=1, self=<value optimized out>) at /home/joss/deb/pkg-gnome/desktop/lenny/build-area/glib2.0-2.16.6/glib/gmain.c:2954 #2 0x00007f51d48b34ad in IA__g_main_loop_run (loop=0x8fa660) at /home/joss/deb/pkg-gnome/desktop/lenny/build-area/glib2.0-2.16.6/glib/gmain.c:2853 #3 0x00007f51d7dac837 in gtk_main () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #4 0x000000000040c4a6 in gs_auth_verify_user () #5 0x00000000004070d9 in ??

The dialog disappeared and I could use my desktop again, but thankfully gnome-screensaver is still running, so killing the dialog process seems like a better workaround, for now. Potentially related: in /var/log/auth.log I found this: Jun 17 13:34:53 shigeru gnome-screensaver-dialog: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock 'login' keyring: 1 then, later, I saw it with an interesting message before it: Jun 17 13:36:27 shigeru gnome-keyring-daemon[6754]: couldn't write 8 bytes to client: Broken pipe Jun 17 13:36:27 shigeru gnome-screensaver-dialog: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock 'login' keyring: 1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-screensaver depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.2.1-5+lenny1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii gconf2 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-icon-theme 2.22.0-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5+lenny1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2+lenny1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgl1-mesa-glx [li 7.0.3-7 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-menu2 2.22.2-4 an implementation of the freedeskt ii libgnomekbd2 2.22.0-1 GNOME library to manage keyboard c ii libgnomekbdui2 2.22.0-1 User interface library for libgnom ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libnotify1 [libnoti 0.4.4-3 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5+lenny1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-5+lenny1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpixman-1-0 0.10.0-2 pixel-manipulation library for X a ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-2+lenny3 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxcb-render-util0 0.2.1+git1-1 utility libraries for X C Binding ii libxcb-render0 1.1-1.2 X C Binding, render extension ii libxcb1 1.1-1.2 X C Binding ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 2:1.1.4-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxklavier12 3.5-2 X Keyboard Extension high-level AP ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.3-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii libxxf86misc1 1:1.0.1-3 X11 XFree86 miscellaneous extensio ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnome-screensaver recommends: ii gnome-power-manager 2.22.1-4 power management tool for the GNOM ii libpam-gnome-keyring 2.22.3-2 PAM module to unlock the GNOME key pn rss-glx <none> (no description available) Versions of packages gnome-screensaver suggests: ii xscreensaver-data 5.05-3+lenny1 data files to be shared among scre -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
