On Mon, 18 Nov 2002 09:07:53 -0600 Squire Ahbaid Gaffoor uttered the following:
When using KDE I sometimes lock my screen,
lately I have been having a problem entering my password to unlock the screen...
1) I am entering the correct password 2) Yes, the case is correct
I end up having to ssh into the box and killing the lock...
haddock:/ # ps -ef|grep kdesktop_lock devel1 7826 1509 0 Nov05 ? 00:00:00 /opt/kde3/bin/kdesktop_lock --forcelock root 22110 23637 0 12:34 pts/6 00:00:00 grep kdesktop_lock haddock:/ # kill -9 7826
Now the screen is unlocked and ready for use.
Does anyone know how to remedy this? Did you run harden_suse or something similar? /opt/kde3/bin/kdesktop_lock should have permission 4755 just like su to be able to unlock the screen..
