Unbelievable Since this bug was originally released:
14.04 has had 4 mayor updates, 14.04.1, 14.04.2, 14.04.3, 14.04.4, soon to be .5, 16.04 has been released (soon to be 16.04.1) and this bug is still there. It is BASIC issues like these that give Linux distros a bad name/reputation, locking the screen is such a basic piece of functionality that it is mind boggling that for a start this is even an issue, without getting into the fact that years have gone by and officially nothing have been done about it other than 2 years later recognize it as a bug. :-( Let's hope this bug gets fixed solely by the inertia of upstream, because if we have to wait for Canonical we'll die of old age. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of LightDM Gtk+ Greeter Development Team, which is subscribed to lightdm-gtk- greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1322275 Title: lightdm sessions started by dm-tool lock (or a session locker) never get closed Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: dm-tool lock starts a new lightdm greeter (for unlocking) and a new logind session.
