A simpler workaround (two click solution) is to just click "switch user" to open the fast user switcher. Then, instead of selecting a new user, reselect the passwordless account to get back in. You don't have to uninstall the screensaver. You just have to know which buttons to click.
Possible fixes 1. Accept a blank password in the existing dialogue. 2. Don't ask for a password if blank. 3. Use the fast user switcher login dialogue instead. 1 and 2 would be simple fixes. 3 would give a more consistent interface. I believe there is a wishlist item requesting this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589299 Title: Can't unlock screen when using a password-less account -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
