I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit, with the latest updates (backports,proposted,etc are all enabled too). I also use Extra Effects in System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects.
I'm suddenly having trouble reproducing this, so figuring this out again... Ok, I have some steps that seem to work every time for me. There might be some unnecessary steps that I haven't tested enough to tell that they aren't necessary, but there are also a few odd things that seem to be required to get this to work. The order of these steps are important and need to be repeated exactly. 1. Log out if you're already logged in. Log back in. 2. Start Firefox. Maximize it if its not already maximized. 3. Click Places>Computer. 4. Click on Firefox to bring it to focus. 5. Press ctrl+alt+L to lock the screen and do screensaver. 6. Press a button exit to the screensaver and show the password dialog. 7. Insert flash drive and wait about 5 seconds. 8. If nothing happens, type in your password and unlock the screen. 9. Close the newly opened window showing the flash drive's contents. 10. Go to the Computer window, right-click on the flash drive, and unmount it. It's icon will change once its unmounted. Remove the flash drive from the computer. 11. Click on Firefox again to bring it to focus. 12. Press ctrl+alt+L to lock the screen and do screensaver. 13. Press a button to exit the screensaver and show the password dialog. 14. Insert flash drive and wait about 5 seconds. 15. The bug I described should happen. -- Screen lock goes away if flash drive plugged in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
