The compiz change is uploaded to hardy-proposed and is waiting for approval.
I would appreciate if you could try any creative ways to break the lock of the screensaver that you can find. Ctrl-alt-mouse-move, switchting between virtual terminals etc. We need to be very careful that this does not reopen the security problem we fixed when we added the 30_fix_screensaver patch. Thanks, Michael ** Description changed: Binary package hint: compiz My computer has two users, and they are often logged onto X simultaneously. I am one of the users and I use compiz. The problem is that when I lock my screen and switch to other VT (using ctrl+alt+fN or Fast User Switch Applet), then back to mine I get a white screen instead of Gnome unlock dialog. However, the mouse pointer still exists and even changes to cursor-like when I point the area where password text box should be located. I am able then to enter my password (the screen remains completely white) and to press enter. After that I am returned to my desktop as if nothing has happened. I'm running Gutsy. compiz version is 1:0.6.0+git20071008-0ubuntu1.1. I have an nvidia video card with nvidia-glx-new 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.9 installed. TEST CASE: 1. install hardy on a system with nvidia hardware 2. install proprietary nvidia driver 3. run compiz - 4. lock the screen with ctrl-alt-l - 5. verify that the screen is white + 4. create a additional user B + 5. use the "fast-user-switching" applet to switch to that user B + 6. switch back to user A + 7. verify that the screen is white - 6. install compiz-core from hardy-proposed - 7. restart the X session - 8. lock the screen with ctrl-alt-l + 1. install compiz-core from hardy-proposed + 2. restart the X session + 3. use the "fast-user-switching" applet to switch to user B + 4. switch back to user A 9. verify that the screeen is not white 10. verify that you can not break out of the lock (compare to bug #145123) by pressing key combinations like "alt-tab", "ctrl-alt-arrow" etc Steps to reproduce : 1. Login to user 1 2. Use the fast user switcher applet to login to user 2 3. Logout from user 2 session Result : You get a white screen. You have to type your password and the white screen will disappears. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided => Medium Assignee: (unassigned) => Michael Vogt (mvo) Status: New => Fix Committed -- [nvidia] compiz displays white screen when locked https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
