Bug#756552: kde-workspace-bin: unable to unlock locked screen ("unlocking failed")
Package: kde-workspace-bin
Version: 4:4.11.9-1
Severity: important
When locking the screen (manually or automatically), it's not possible to
unlock it. It's not accepting password.
According to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-
workspace/+bug/1312849 there is a problem with running kcheckpass.
I'm confirming that changing permissions with "sudo chmod 4755
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kcheckpass" solves the problem.
* What led up to the situation?
locking the screen
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
typed the right password
* What was the outcome of this action?
not unlocking the screen
