Title:
Can't unlock screen when using a password-less account
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
I created a password-less account for my Mom, that is, in the Ubuntu
Installer (or maybe later, using users-admin, I don't think it really
matters) I created an account, inserted no password and checked the
"don't ask for a password on login" checkbox. After tweaking the
permissions a bit, it works fine for her. The only (quite big) problem
is that when the screen is locked, either by locking it manually or
after a user-switch, you simply can't unlock it, since it asks for a
password that I never set.
I think that gnome-screensaver simply shouldn't ask for a password
for this type of accounts.
