I can confirm this bug on lubuntu 13.10 amd64. The workaround I chose (following #22) was to:
1) Install suckless-tools: sudo apt-get install suckless-tools 2) edit /usr/bin/lxlock (sudo nano /usr/bin/lxlock). It tries to trigger screen locking using various tools, one of them is in fact slock, the tool provided by suckless-tools. The whole contents can be erased and just write "slock" instead. What I did was to add the "el" prefix to the first "if", and move the "elif" testing and triggering slock to the top (removing the "el" prefix). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205384 Title: Lock can be circumvented by switching to console Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “lxsession” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1)lock your screen using "dm-tool switch-to-greeter" or "dm-tool lock" 2)switch to console via ctrl+alt+F1 3)switch back to X via ctrl+alt+F7 Result: session is unlocked without entering a password Expected behaviour: session should still be locked when switching back to X ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: lightdm 1.7.7-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.10.0-5.15-generic 3.10.2 Uname: Linux 3.10.0-5-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.11-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Jul 26 17:30:23 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-07-26 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Alpha i386 (20130723.1) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1205384/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
