Version: 4.00.62 (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2) OS: Linux On KUbuntu 7.10, follow these steps to reproduce the bug : 1. lock the session (CTRL+ALT+L) 2. move the mouse to bring up the unlock session dlg 3. type the correct password not to get in :) I'm aware about the KUbuntu root password trick, so I used this : sudo passwd root in order to define a root password. Please note that this is specific to this last SVN version, as last week unlocking worked.
this is an installation problem. kcheckpasswd needs to be installed with root privs.
Well, once again the screen unlocking doesn't work for me. I ensured kcheckpass is owned by 'root'.
