Description of problem: when system has been idle for some time and screen-saver has activated and turned off the display, moving the mouse or pressing a keyboard key brings up an "input password screen" to unlock the display. the correct number of characters are shown as entered, then "enter" pressed, the screen goes blank and then the same window reappears. control+alt+F2 brings up a tty, entering user and password is accepted and system can be rebooted from the tty. this is not the xlock password entry GUI.

I can not reproduce this problem. May be polkit problem occured which hits Mageia 5 ?
Ben, is it still valid with 1.10.2-1.mga6 ? If it's still valid then would you mind to modify /etc/pam.d/mate-screensaver from: > # Fedora Core > auth include system-auth > auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so > account include system-auth > password include system-auth > session include system-auth to: > # Fedora Core > auth substack system-auth > auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so > account include system-auth > password include system-auth > session include system-auth and re-try? I think this issue may related to #16825
It does not appear to be since last update - fixed by updating something? closing for now. thanks Atilla ÃNTAÅ for looking into this
