Bug#502140: cannot unlock screen during etch - lenny transition

2008-10-28 Thread Michael Gilbert
if a sufficiently detailed note about this (and a recommendation to
disable the screensaver) is added to the release notes, then i believe
that this bug can be closed.  btw, where can i review the release
notes at?

Bug#502140: cannot unlock screen during etch - lenny transition

2008-10-28 Thread Michael Gilbert
the previous suggestion also seems like it would work pretty well.
some python-like pseudo code:

while $ xscreensaver-command -exit fails (indicating screensaver active):
 present dialog indicating that an active xscreensaver was detected
 wait for user to unlock screen and respond to dialog
perform pam and xscreensaver installation
restart xscreensaver daemon

or even better:

while $ xscreensaver-command -exit fails (indicating screensaver active):
sleep 5 seconds
perform pam and xscreensaver installation
restart xscreensaver daemon

which eliminates any need for user intervention.

Bug#502140: cannot unlock screen during etch - lenny transition

2008-10-13 Thread Michael S. Gilbert
Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.05-3
Severity: grave

i just tested the etch - lenny transition on two of my systems, and 
xscreensaver ended up locking me out of both of them.

version 4.24 of the xscreensaver daemon was running when i started the 
upgrade.  i went off to work on some other things while the upgrade
happened, and when i came back xscreensaver (it still said version 4.24) 
would no longer accept my password.  i had to press the power button on the
system to reset it to get back into it.

the problem likely occured during the transition from xscreensaver 4.24
to 5.05.

this happened on two different machines that i upgraded.  let me know if i 
can provide any more info.  thanks for the hard work.
