The same thing happens again on 12.10 using 2 monitors and gdm instead of lightdm. the behavior is: (note that I have synergy setup as well)
* CTRL+ALT+L to lock the screen * "curtain" effect rolls down showing the clock * press ESC so the curtain moves up to be able to type the password, but nothing happens (with any other key either) * the clock and mouse can move freely and I can move the mouse to other screens on other desktops via synergy! My workaround for this is: 1. press CTRL+ALT+F2 2. type "restart" 3. press ENTER After that the desktop shows fine and all my virtual desktops are collapsed into 1, but all programs keep running. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848562 Title: gnome-shell lock screen does not display password prompt Status in GNOME Screensaver: Invalid Status in GNOME Shell: Fix Released Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have two monitors, the laptop screen and an external one connected via display port. When I do 'ctrl-alt-L' in gnome-shell to lock the screen, the laptop screen displays the screen background and the second monitor displays whatever was on it before locking the screen. When I press a key, no password prompt appears - the laptop continues to display the background. However, entering the password at this point unlocks the computer.
