lock screen does not unlock

[Tuomo Sipola]

Updated from Ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 and rebooted. Using gnome-shell.

What I did:
Using Ctrl-Alt-L to enter lock screen.
I press Enter to slide the clock away. I type my password to the password field and press Enter or click the button.

What I expected:
The lock screen disappears and I get back to the desktop.

What happened instead:
It checks the password but nothing happens.

No, I did not have a typo in my password.

I did some syslog reading. Remove Hal to resolve this problem:

sudo apt-get remove hal
