Strange lock window

Sun Sep 07, 2014 5:17 am
Hello.
I have Ubuntu 13.10, KDE 4.11.5 and notebook Asus U30JS. There are two users who use it logging in alternately.
I repeat steps to get the strange behavour.
1. Load or reboot the note book.
2. I log in.
3. I lock the screen.
4. My wife clicks "Switch users" and selects "Create new session" (I have a localized Ubuntu and may be these butons are called differently).
5. She logs in.
6. She locks the screen. Now there are two users on the laptop.
7. I want to log in. I click "Switch users" but occasionally I choose my wife (not me) from the list and click "Activate".
8. From here I cannot switch to me anyway. I click "Switch users" but nothing happens. I click "Unlock" but get buttons "Switch users" and "Unlock" one above the other.
So, what's wrong and how can I switch users in this case?

Sounds like this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331761

It has been fixed recently.

Btw, why are you posting this in the Brainstorm section?

Thanks, it looks like my variant. I'm sorry if I chose wrong section. But I didn't find a section for bugs.

There is no section for bugs.
Bugs should be reported to bugzilla: http://bugs.kde.org/

Btw, you don't have to wait for an update to get the fix.
Just change the file /usr/share/kde4/apps/screenlocker/greeter/themes/org.kde.passworddialog/contents/ui/main.qml according to this:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/k ... i/main.qml

It is only a text file, replace the red parts with the green lines.

If you need help for that, feel free to ask.
