I've just reviewed the manual for GNOME Power Manager (section “advanced-preferences-locking”). Apparently “there is a complex locking scheme available for power users that allows locking policy to change for the lid, suspend and hibernate actions”.
Perhaps the way to deal with this bug is in the UI for enabling autologin: if automatic login is enabled, configure GNOME Power Manager to use advanced locking preferences. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553646 Title: Waking from hibernate unexpectedly prompts for password -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
