This is strange. On my laptop it works, while on desktop I cannot unlock the screen. On laptop, there is nothing in /var/log/auth.log, while on the desktop the following messages appear: Jul 7 16:38:48 localhost unix_chkpwd[17264]: check pass; user unknown Jul 7 16:38:48 localhost kcheckpass: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= user=krzysiek Jul 7 16:38:48 localhost kcheckpass[17263]: Authentication failure for krzysiek (invoked by uid 1000)
Maybe the reason is KDE 3.5.3 installed on desktop (from Kubuntu repository)? -- Cannot unlock screen in Kubuntu https://launchpad.net/bugs/45411 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
