[Bug 498694] Re: sometimes resume from suspend doesn't ask for password, instead goes to straight to the desktop instead.
I'm running Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat (10.10) installed on a USB pendrive. I experience this problem consistently, that is, I cannot get Ubuntu to prompt for entering a password after resuming a locked screen in any way. By default the installation comes with a default user account 'ubuntu' without a password. I've created another user account with a password via the System - Administration - Users and Groups dialog, to make sure this behaviour is not a result of the (default) user account having no password configured. I've selected the Lock screen when screensaver is active checkbox in the Screensaver Preferences. I've tested waiting for the screensaver to become active (after 1 minute), and I've tested by manually locking the screen (Ctrl+Alt+L). None of the efforts resulted in the prompting of a password. I've followed this tutorial to create the USB pendrive: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ But used the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso instead of 7.10. In step 17, some files/directories (disctree, ubuntu.ico, casper/initrd.gz -- casper/initrd.lz) in the 'cp' command-line had to be omitted or altered. After step 20 I had to modify the syslinux.cfg contained in U710fix.zip (renamed every instance of initrd.gz to initrd.lz). I hope someone can follow the same tutorial in order to get the same environment, and verify the behaviour described. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498694 Title: sometimes resume from suspend doesn't ask for password, instead goes to straight to the desktop instead. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It seems I have solved my case. As I am new to Ubuntu I do not know if this is the case in previous generations but under System - Administration there is a Login screen setup utility where I had to remove login automatically selection.

I'd like to add that I have had this issue with gnome on karmic UNR 32bit and I am having it with karmic kubuntu 64bit. So perhaps this has nothing to do with gnome-screensaver but something at a lower level? As previous posters, I've been unable to figure out a pattern, this happens sometimes.

[Bug 498694] Re: sometimes resume from suspend doesn't ask for password, instead goes to straight to the desktop instead.
I've faced this on and off. I don't know what triggers this behavior, but once it started I think it stays until the system is rebooted (not sure if rebooting solves this though). One more thing I've noticed happening with this is that, the Lock screen from menu doesn't work - I've to use Ctrl-Alt-L instead. Also, when Ubuntu behaves normally, the Suspend sequence that I used see was the screen going blank first, followed by HDD activity and then going to sleep. Now, when I've this problem, I can see that my screen stays active, and volume tray icon has x overlay (muted), and then the screen goes blank followed by sleep. Later when I resume, it just directly goes to my desktop without asking for password!

I'll try out your suggestions Marc. It hasn't happen recently. I'm wondering if it had something to do with GnomeDo's Files and Folders plug-in, which was sometimes causing suspend to fail. I fixed that problem and it hasn't happened since, but we'll see. I'll report back if there's any updates.

It's not worth re-installing it. When you return from suspend and the screen isn't locked, is the gnome-screensaver process still running?
