Wrong Password in Lock Screen!

[abish]

Hello friends.
I've been using LMDE since a few weeks.
I'm happy with Cinnamon except a problem.

my problems:

1. Once I lock my laptop, on the 'Enter Password' screen... whatever I do, it says 'wrong password'..
and interestingly the same password works everywhere else including the startup Login Screen.

2. How do I change what my power button does ? I want the shutdown/sleep/restart options to come rather than direct sleep.

thank you

Sorry can't help.

I don't know about cinnamon, but in the old Gnome 2, when you check under power manager, you have the option of changing the settings there. under the headings for power button just choose "Ask me" instead of sleep and you should get the options displayed when you press the power button.

This seems all to be a problem with Cinnamon using Gnome3 settings.
What release do you use? ISO, RC?

Code: Select all

lsb_release -dr

Also please give the output of:

Code: Select all

gconftool -a /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons

Hello there,

sorry for reopening such an old thread. But as I am experiencing just the same problem, I'd like to ask for help, too!

My output for lsb_release -dr is:
