Hi All
I’m using the 64 bit edition of openSUSE 11.4. Whenever my screen locks out due to inactivity after sometime, My login screen shows the password prompt but all the buttons are disabled and I receive a message, “Time has expired”. Now I’m just stuck here. I have even disabled my screensaver but its still happening. Please help me resolve this bug because this is creating huge problems for me and I have to reset my machine all time.
Thanks
Juzer

when asking for help you should identify the desktop environment you use…
i’m not certain this will help (read caveat in my sig):
in KDE4 go Personal Settings - Configure Desktop > (in new window)
Hardware > Power Management > (on left, in new window) Global Settings >
Settings and Profile (tab), under “Events” uncheck the box next to “Lock
Screen on resume” (which is the default) > Apply > Overview (top left) >
Hardware > Display and Monitor > (on left, in new window) Screen Saver >
uncheck “Start automatically after” and “Require password after:” > Apply
if that fixes your problem, i do not believe it is a bug, but rather a
set up problem…
let us know how you get on…

Oh I’m really sorry that I forgot to mention my desktop environment.
I’m using GNOME. Can you please specify as to which setting should I change in GNOME to make the above changes?
Thanks

i do not use gnome, i can’t help more…look around in gnome, i think it
has similar paths to similar settings…
anyway, as far as i know your openSUSE wasn’t default installed with the
problems you have now (it worked ok for a while right?)

Nope…I’ve been facing this problem since the day I installed this version of openSUSE

ok then, now we have some info to work from!!
if it was broken the day you installed it, then only one of a very few
things is the problem:
your install media was garbled; did you do this prior to installing
http://tinyurl.com/3qde66h? if not, do it now and if you get any errors,
you have a clue (to get a perfect install medium, and install anew)
your install erred during the install; did it? what was the error?
you ‘upgraded’ your system in a non-approved/supported way; there are
only two ways: http://tinyurl.com/35p966c and http://tinyurl.com/6kvoflv
which did you use? (maybe, if you upgraded wrongly, some of your power
savings or security settings held over to this system are incompatible
with this system, and . . . )
you have an unusual bug that i not seen mentioned here before (and, i
guess haven’t seen it either, because you searched around here
<http://search.opensuse.org/> and bugzilla <http://tinyurl.com/nzhq7j>
before you asked (right?)…if that is the case then the only thing to
do is log a bug (i guess you must have some unusual hardware…have you
checked to see if you should upgrade your bios?)
hmmmmm…have you used YaST to add a new test user, then log out and
back in as that new test user, and before you fiddle with any settings
(anywhere!) just walk away and leave the machine untouched…come back
15 minutes after it would have locked up everyday you have had it with
openSUSE 11.4, and see if it does with the new user…
if it does not, let us know…

Run “gnome-screensaver-preferences” and adjust it.
