I too am affected by this problem as I used blueproximity under 12.04 to lock and unlock my desktop, and it is now unable to unlock it again with gnome-screensaver-command -d.
What is the solution to this? I need to be able to programmatically unlock the desktop. -- 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/1307163 Title: not work gnome-screensaver-command -d Status in “blueproximity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After the upgrade not work gnome-screensaver-command --deactivate jwm + gnome-screensaver impossible to see video because not working gnome-screensaver-command -d not works: gnome-screensaver-command -a gnome-screensaver-command -d gnome-screensaver-command -l ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-0ubuntu13 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sun Apr 13 18:47:32 2014 GnomeSessionIdleInhibited: No GnomeSessionInhibitors: None GsettingsGnomeSession: org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'ubuntu' org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay uint32 0 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-11 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Daily amd64 (20140410) SourcePackage: gnome-screensaver UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blueproximity/+bug/1307163/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
