Hi,
recently I bought one Eee PC 900/XP, removed XP totally and installed Ubuntu eee 8.04.1
Everything is working fine except the lock-screen. It never accepts my password. I have to log-in as "different user" giving the same name and password and then it works.
Could anyone please give me a clue??

i call BUG i try this under ubuntu SE and it works fine

that is the weirdist thing i have ever heard of....

better idea stop locking your screen :P remove it from your panel forget it ever existed

or update your system it maybe already fixed and you just havent updated since

if not you have a bigger issue and im just too stoned right now to think of a way to fix it

Hi azsarker,

I have more or less the same configuration (EeePC 1000H, Ubuntu eee 8.04.1 installed) as you and had the same issue.

Yeah, someone else have already managed to spot the cause and the solution:

I am not sure if it has anything to do with the problem but I have installed ubuntu 8.04.1 by following "How to configure a USB stick manually" guide on the official ubuntu-eee site.

I believe the same issue will appear even if you do a network boot/install so yes, that appears to be bug in the eee version.

Hope that helps.

Thanks to both of you! The above link by sshdll and the solution given there solved the problem.
