This is still an issue for me on 15.04. I have to alt-f1, log in and kill gnome-screensaver. Then I need to save everything and reboot because every few seconds the screen will turn black after doing this.
I don't use ecryptfs, I don't have several copies of gnome-screensaver running when this happens, and it's not a hibernation issue with me because it happens from a simple screensaver lock timeout - my music remains playing in the background. It occurs about once per 30 or so screensaver locks, and usually Chrome is the only major thing I have open when my screen locks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/744619 Title: Screen doesn't unlock; stuck on "Checking" Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver When I lock the screen either by using the screensaver, locking manually, or returning from a hibernate, when the authentication dialog comes up, it doesn't unlock the screen when I enter my password.
