Title:
cann't unlock screensaver
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
When I lock the screen (strg-alt-l) or the sreensaver locked the screen
atomatically, I can't unlock the the screen by typing in the correct password.
The Screensaver reports 'password not correct'.
I can only lock in to the existing session by chosing 'change user' and doing
the lock in from there.
I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
The File shadow has the permissions witch are mentioned in BUG #34775. But
the file is not in /etc/shadow, that does not exist. It is directly in /etc.
