Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
If I lock my screen, then try to unlock it, the dialog hangs at "checking password". I honestly have not waited around long enough to see if it will eventually unlock. I have waited a few minutes, nothing happens, just hangs, with the password field grayed out, like it should normally, and "checking password", but it never unlocks as far as I can tell.
This is different from any bugs I have found. The dialog appears normally, and accepts my typing into the box, however as explained, it inexplicably freezes. I have to kill the session and re-log.
I'd be happy to help figure this out, I just don't know how to proceed to get more useful information.
