I have this problem as well. I am using 9.10 with full updates applied as of the time of this writing.
I seem to have no problem authenticating any other actions. I have even tried creating a test account, but that didn't change anything either. In addition, I tried the old "xhost +" and "sudo su -" to root and, with DISPLAY set to ":0.0" got the same exact results (incomplete setting list). This is a fresh 9.10 install with full patches. About the only thing that even comes to mind with regards to using the "startup programs" feature was that when I first tried Ubuntu, I fired up gkrellm and used the option to remember the current running applications. Perhaps related? And yes, I am using the local console to login only for this report/testing. I will attach the information that you were asking for from some of the threads here in the report.txt file I have attached. Thanks. ** Attachment added: "Bug related report" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38385568/report.txt -- Cannot Unlock "System > Administration > Login Screen" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431147 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
