*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Seth Arnold (seth-arnold):
Ubuntu 18.04.1
Just a few minutes ago, I typed the first character of my password, and
the lock screen didn't change to the login screen. I typed the character
again and nothing happened, so I pressed the spacebar to try to get the
thing's attention.
Then it unlocked.
This is spooked me, so I restarted my laptop and tried logging in with a random
string, and nothing happened. I logged in with my regular password and then
promptly changed it.
I tried unlocking my system with my old password, and it worked.
However, the terminal only recognizes my new root password.
