theYinYeti Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have a minor but very annoying bug. When my Gnome session is locked, and I try to unlock it by entering the password (this dialog is the “gnome-screensaver-dialog†process), the password-checking seems to take an infinite amount of time. So I have to CtrlAltF2, login as root, killall gnome-screensaver-dialog, CtrlAltF7, and try again. Sometimes, the bug doesn't happen, sometimes, it happens only once, sometimes twice, sometimes 5 or 6 times. The success always comes eventually, but this is very annoying. This happens since I switched to Mandriva 2009.0 (2008-10-17), but I didn't report anything so far because my Gnome session is heavily modified, and the home-directory is a bit old (2007). But I recently did a fresh install of Mandriva 2009.0 on my “sedentaire†PC, with a new user having a default Gnome session, and the bug happened; that's when I decided it was time to ask. What are the cause and the cure to this problem? Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I also had this when I had Mandriva 2009 also. I also posted in the bugs about it, although I don't remember what happened with the bug. The bug was acknowledged but more than that, I've no idea. Hopefully someone will actually fix it.
