Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts Version: 1.1.10 Severity: minor [The following does no more happen with eeepc-acpi-scripts 1.1.11 due to acpi-support does not (yet) support xtrlock, see http://bugs.debian.org/605276. So it's basically a squeeze-only bug for documenting the cause and workarounds.]
In the seldom case that a) xtrlock is installed and b) no user is logged in (e.g. X shows the login manager, in my case gdm), the login manager itself is locked with xtrlock running under root and therefore requiring the root password to unlock. (LOCK_SCREEN_ON_SUSPEND is set to yes by default in eeepc-acpi-scripts.) This is annoying if it happens, but should be only a problem if c) the user who currently uses the laptop is not also root or d) forgot the root password (e.g. because of using sudo all the time). Since I expect c) to be a very rare case with EeePCs (maybe someone's partner using the laptop, can't imagine such a setup is used in business environments) and d) can be workarounded easily by switching to the text console, logging in as user and calling "sudo killall -KILL xtrlock" or equivalent, I don't think the impact is very high. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages eeepc-acpi-scripts depends on: ii acpid 1:2.0.7-1 Advanced Configuration and Power I ii pm-utils 1.3.0-3 utilities and scripts for power ma ii rfkill 0.4-1 tool for enabling and disabling wi eeepc-acpi-scripts recommends no packages.
