Bug 287027 – gnome-extra/gnome-screensaver-2.26.1 doesn't unlock screen

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Rafael 2009-09-30 07:22:11 UTC]

When I lock the screen using gnome-screensaver I cannot unlock it. Instead of showing the password dialog when It detects activity, the screen just flashes. The background image wich is used when the dialog is displayed appears for a moment, then it goes back to the screensaver.

Reproducible: Always

It's working for me now.
I think it was related to having packages linked to an old version of libxklavier because the shared libraries are not removed in the update, therefore you need to run revdep-rebuild -L 'soname' in order to detect broken packages. I would prefer that the libraries were automatically removed sot that revdep-rebuild would pick the broken packages.
I discovered it by chance when I read the elog after rebuilding libxklavier because of the libxcb-1.4 update and followed the given instructions to remove the old libraries.

closing invalid, you should make sure you system is in a consistent state before filling bugs. Thanks for reporting anyway.
