When the screen is locked with password, if I hold ENTER after some
seconds the screen freezes and the lock screen crashes. After that I
have the computer fully unlocked.
- draven 11y agoJwz has some strong opinions about screensaver/screenlocker design: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2014/04/the-awful-thing-about-getting-it-right-the-first-time-is-that-nobody-realizes-how-hard-it-was/ https://www.jwz.org/blog/2014/04/the-awful-thing-about-getti... I'd say he's right.
- jmtd 11y agoThere is a wonderful rich history of screensaver lock snafus, nicely summarized by JWZ here https://www.jwz.org/blog/2014/04/the-awful-thing-about-getting-it-right-the-first-time-is-that-nobody-realizes-how-hard-it-was/ https://www.jwz.org/blog/2014/04/the-awful-thing-about-getti... and the icing on the cake is the humble pie post, where someone found the same in xscreensaver https://www.jwz.org/blog/2015/10/xscreensaver-5-34/ https://www.jwz.org/blog/2015/10/xscreensaver-5-34/
