Hi, I've just had enough of doing CTRL-ALT-F1 login, kill gnome- screensaver etc., to look more into this and can confirm that, at least for me:
With two keyboard layouts (layout1 and layout2) 1) lock the screen with CTRL-ALT-l 2) touch mouse to bring up screensaver dialog 3) switch keyboard layout to layout2 (and note keyboard indicator indicates layout change) 4) enter password *as if layout1 was active* [1] 5) screen is unlocked 6) switch back to layout1 Repeat, but this time skip step 3 - screen is still unlocked. That is, it seems that although the screensaver dialog indicates that it changes the layout - it is always using the one layout. Brian can you confirm this? If I get a chance, I'll take a look at the source and see if there's something I can pick off. [1] I had to type it in to an editor as I only know the keystrokes using layout2 -- 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/872701 Title: Not possible to enter correct password after screen lock Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: STR: 1) Lock the screen 2) Move mouse to force password dialog to appear 3) Set correct keyboard layout and enter password 4) Returned to desktop AR: At step 3, no matter which keyboard layout I set (I have US and US-dvorak and toggle with double-shift) the password which I enter is never accepted. I am forced to switch to a tty, login there (with the same password) and `pkill -f gnome-screensaver` to get back to my desktop. Note: I use multiple layouts on another oneiric laptop and do not see this issue.
