[Bug 49222] Re: Screensaver password dialog does not indicate keyboard layout
After a bit more research, it appears that it was the theme I had applied in the past to the gnome-screensaver unlock dialog that wasn't working fully with Lucid Lynx. Should I report this as a seperate bug, or do we consider that new versions aren't required to work with old themes? -- Screensaver password dialog does not indicate keyboard layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 49222] Re: Screensaver password dialog does not indicate keyboard layout
This is active again in Lucid Lynx beta: the screensaver unlock dialog doesn't have an indication of what layout is in use, nor does it offer to switch. It just uses the last used layout. If it is of any importance, I'm using different layouts for the same language, in this case French bepo as default and French Alternative as secondary option. -- Screensaver password dialog does not indicate keyboard layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I had the same issue of being unable to unlock the screensaver in Fedora Core 6. After reading this thread I realized that I could login by switching the keyboard layout with Alt-Shift.

Update to the above: A different user on the same computer with standard keyboard settings has the problem too. No way the pass can be entered. And just to correct myself: Ctrl+Alt+Bcksp works better than a hard reboot... but is just as bad, IMO. -- Screensaver password dialog does not indicate keyboard layout https://launchpad.net/bugs/49222 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 49222] Re: Screensaver password dialog does not indicate keyboard layout
I think my problem is very related: I use a modified dvorak keyboard (as a non-english speaker) to avoid keyboard switching (with xmodmap). My password uses the same keys on both that and the default dvorak layout, which is the system default. However, when the screen locks, it refuses to let me back in no matter what I try. I consider this a very serious bug. I can confirm the bug directly too - when I have someone else using my PC, I need to xmodmap to their layout... but when the screen locks, we have a problem: I know the password, they know the layout.

[Bug 49222] Re: Screensaver password dialog does not indicate keyboard layout
I suffer from this issue too on Dapper. My native language is Greek. I use two layouts en_US and el_GR and switch bettween them with ctrl+alt+shift. I have selected en_US layout as the default layout and clicked the separate group for each window. This way when I start an application it's window uses the default layout. Unfortunatelly I realized that xlock and the window shown when an app needs my password to get root priviledges (eg. /usr/bin/sudo -H -S -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS -u root -- /usr/bin/update-manager) , do not follow this rule (they do not switch to the default layout when they appear at the screen). I think this happens because when xlock or sudo window start, the focus is not taken from the previously focused window. This results in xlock and sudo using the layout selected for that window and not the default. This issue is very very annoying for users that use more than one layout (and all non English speakers) and thus I think it should be take a highter priority. I think the most appropriate sollution to this is to make xlock and sudo take the focus from the previously focused window and thus switch to the default layout. An other approximation would be to show a message under or next to the password input box that would indicate the current layout. -- Screensaver password dialog does not indicate keyboard layout https://launchpad.net/bugs/49222 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Adam wrote: It has led to information loss for me. Well in my case it has led to hardware loss. I know you are laughing. It's OK. Now let's get serious, here is my situation: 1) English is not my primary language as is the case of so many people 2) At my office I always have a locking-screensaver set to 5mins for security reasons. Quite resonable I think. So every day I will need to unlock the screensaver at least 5 to 10 times. Many times I will type my password and it will fail because I am in the wrong keyb layout. At least every day or two something like this happens: I get a phone call so I return to my office because I need my PC to help the caller. I type my password anxious to restore my desktop. The computer waits a little then complains that it is wrong. I say I should have typed slowly - I probably misstyped. I type it again slowly. The computer waits a little then complains. Argh... I say damn it was the wrong layout. I hit ctlr-alt and think I changed it but I only wake up the screensaver again. I type it once more. It waits then it complains. Then I say damn I probably misstyped. I type it again slowly. It waits... then it complains. I finaly realise I didn't switch layout. I hit a key to wake the PC then I switch the layout then I type my password fast because I've lost my patience. It fails... now you know why I am writing this in my brand new keyboard... the 2nd in one week :-) as for possible resolutions of this bug: -- if it is very difficult to have a keyboard indicator and switcher in the password dialog then at least the keyborad should be set to the default layout. So the user only needs to select a password using the default keyb layout. -- Screensaver password dialog does not indicate keyboard layout https://launchpad.net/bugs/49222 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

For me it has even been like that that I was completely sure that I wrote the correct passwords for both my layouts since I know them quite well. Still no luck.
