I'm seeing this currently on one of my two Linux Mint 19.3 installations (both are on the same system).
I usually use a keyboard shortcut to lock the desktop and blank the screen, the command it runs is the following: bash -c "cinnamon-screensaver-command -l; sleep 8s; xset dpms force off; " This has always worked, but now on one of the installations it blanks the screen but after a while wakes up again without me doing anything. The only thing out of the ordinary I see in the journal (that I don't see on the secondary installation) is that every time I locked the screen this happens: Sender: cinnamon-screen Message: pam_ecryptfs: seteuid error So I guess this could be related to what causes the screen to wake, and I have no idea why. So I'm in the process now of making a fresh reinstall and then gradually install/test the stuff I use to try and narrow down what causes this. -- 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/1085706 Title: pam_ecryptfs: seteuid error Status in eCryptfs: Confirmed Status in GNOME Screensaver: New Status in ecryptfs-utils package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in kscreenlocker package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in plasma-workspace package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-screensaver package in Debian: New Bug description: I get this error message in the syslog when I authenticate succesfully in the screensaver. --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes GnomeSessionIdleInhibited: No GnomeSessionInhibitors: None GsettingsGnomeSession: org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay uint32 600 org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'ubuntu' InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-06-13 (172 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True Package: gnome-screensaver 3.6.0-0ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-19.30-generic 3.5.7 Tags: quantal running-unity Uname: Linux 3.5.0-19-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1085706/+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
