Ok, I'm focusing this bug on only one issue since that issue is still a
problem with 17.04.
Patrick or anyone, if you're still experiencing the other issue, please
file a new bug. "1) When I move the mouse, the lock screen appears.
Whatever I type it only activates the top right menu. I'm completely
unable to login. I used power button to restart the computer."
endees, please file a new bug for that issue.
** Summary changed:
- failing to unlock screensaver
+ sometimes GNOME screen lock fails to unlock after password entered
** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Importance: Critical => High
** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Package changed: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) => gdm3 (Ubuntu)
** Description changed:
- There seem to be two distinct errors when unlocking gnome-screensaver.
- Both prevents you from logging in. The first is the most serious.
-
- 1) When I move the mouse, the lock screen appears. Whatever I type it
- only activates the top right menu. I'm completely unable to login. I
- used power button to restart the computer.
-
- 2) Most common is that you can type your password, but the rotating-
- pause-animation never stops. You can cancel this with the button and
- usually you can get passed the screensave on the second attempt.
+ When unlocking GNOME Shell after the screen is locked, sometimes you can
+ type your password, but the rotating-pause-animation never stops and the
+ screen is never unlocked. You can cancel this with the button and
+ usually you can get passed the screen lock on the second attempt.
