I know this bug since years. When setting my Thinkpad on the Dockingstation while it was sleeping it sometimes happens that the gnome-shell just starts without asking for a password. And I don't even have to extract the harddisk. I remember some guys of the ubuntu community told me years ago that's a known issue with Xorg and gnome- shell. I did not file a bug or was looking for a known bug because it happened very seldom but the bug persisted many years and I don't know if it was fixed until now for sure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pam in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1777415 Title: Local authorization bypass by using suspend mode Status in Unity: New Status in pam package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Version: Ubuntu 16.04.04 LTS Desktop, all packets are updated at 15.06.2018 Affects: access to latest user opened applications, that can contain sensitive information (documents, private information, passwords, etc.) How to reproduce: 1. open some applications (LibreOffice, browsers, editors, ...) 2. go to suspend mode 3. extract hard drive 4. wake up 5. after that can be several behaviors: * Ubuntu show lock screen.
