hi, i've just done a fresh install of Lubuntu saucy 13.10 and I can confirm that lightdm is not keeping the system locked.
Comment #8 is correct. - lock the screen with "Shutdown > Lock Screen" ; - on lightdm screen, just do ctrl+alt+F7 : you arrive on the desktop, without typing any password. I believe it's a security issue once anyone is able to log into your machine without typing any password. let me know if you need more info. the guy from webupd8 also got the bug at his article: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/see-whats-new-in-1310-release-of.html from the article: " XScreensaver has been removed (LightDM is now used for screen locking but there's a pretty serious bug here unless I'm missing something: if you switch to TTY7 after locking the screen - using Ctrl + Alt + 7 -, you can access the desktop without having to unlock the screen so without having to enter any password!); " best regards, ibere ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205384 Title: Lock can be circumvented by switching to console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1205384/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
