Solved: Kielbasa 64bit, can't log back in after screen lock
strange problem. when I lock the screen I can't get back in. It doesn't recognize my password. tried some searches, no dice though. Has this issue come up before? I thought I may have read it here or the other forum, but don't remember well enough to help me find it.
Didn't notice until started using JWM. thought it might be associated, but same thing in other wm.

Re: Kielbasa 64bit, can't log back in after screen lock
Hi drew,
that's quite new to me but I have to admit I never lock my screen. Is it the 'screen lid' lock activated via power-manager or xlock or xscreensaver? I don't use either, so I would have to check first what the root cause is.

both xscreensaver and i3lock. I activated through keyboard, not lid closing. Then when I noticed it, tried again, making sure it wasn't a fluke, then in i3, tried i3lock, and the same thing. It comes back as 'failed'. I have to do a hard shutdown to recover from it.

Sorry, no idea really. I install both now and check what the problem might be.

nice find. Looks similar for xscreensaver. Checked the /var/log/auth.log
*EDIT -> looks like you won't need this. Great work, thanks.
