Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: timeoutd
On lucid, timeoutd would lock the screen of the foreground user when
terminating an idle background session.
Steps to reproduce:
- Install timeoutd
- Edit /etc/timeouts to add the following line:
Al:*:*:*:3:0:0:1
The above will kill sessions after three minutes of inactivity, warning
one minute before.
- Log in as one user, switch session to a second user.
- In the second session, do something (so as to not trigger the timeout
for the foreground session). After three minutes, the background
session will be terminated, and the foreground session is sent to the
GDM, where he can log back in his currently running session.
Intended results: the foreground session should not be affected by the
background session being terminated.
timeoutd version 1.5-10.1ubuntu1
