I'm using ordinary password authentication here. This system has also been through multiple upgrades, but I haven't upgraded to 16.04 yet. I run Gnome 3 on another machine without this problem (but I probably get that password right more often).
Let me know if there is anything I can look up or test on this machine to help. -- 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/744619 Title: Screen doesn't unlock; stuck on "Checking" Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver When I lock the screen either by using the screensaver, locking manually, or returning from a hibernate, when the authentication dialog comes up, it doesn't unlock the screen when I enter my password.
