There is several instances of "gnome-screensaver" running when this bug occurs. When the screen is stuck on "checking..." you can verify this by logging in in a different tty (with ctrl+alt+F1 or F2, etc...) and try :: pstree -p | grep "screen"
(-p is for having PID needed to kill the process) Here you can see that you have several instance of "gnome-screensaver" running. Now, you just have to kill one of screensaver by : sudo kill #PID and go to tty7 with ctrl + alt + F7 Does anybody know why several gnome-screensaver are running ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/744619 Title: Screen doesn't unlock; stuck on "Checking" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/744619/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
