This issue came probably after update of packages, after locking the screen I couldn't get unlocked using the password. I oculd the desktop back (without menu bar) by killing the process of cinnamon-screensaver but it's not the solution....
The error after typing the correct password was:
2014-03-30T13:02:54.146758+02:00 sco passwd[5171]: gkr-pam: couldn't update the login keyring password: no old password was entered
2014-03-30T13:02:58.664769+02:00 sco cinnamon-screensaver-dialog: gkr-pam: the password for the login keyring was invalid.
2014-03-30T13:02:58.670770+02:00 sco unix_chkpwd[5181]: check pass; user unknown
This was caused by changing the password through passwd, to fix this just use the User Panel to change the password.
But I still couldn't log in, with following error:
2014-03-30T13:13:48.553026+02:00 sco cinnamon-screensaver-dialog: gkr-pam: unlocked login keyring
2014-03-30T13:13:48.558840+02:00 sco unix_chkpwd[7527]: check pass; user unknown
2014-03-30T13:13:48.559297+02:00 sco unix_chkpwd[7527]: password check failed for user (tomz)
2014-03-30T13:13:48.559499+02:00 sco cinnamon-screensaver-dialog: pam_unix(cinnamon-screensaver:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=:0.0 ruser= rhost= user=tomz
The solution I came with was to make following changes:
pam.d $ >> cat /etc/pam.d/cinnamon-screensaver
#%PAM-1.0
#%PAM-1.0
# Fedora Core
#auth include system-auth
#auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
#account include system-auth
#password include system-auth
#session include system-auth
# SuSE/Novell
#auth include common-auth
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
account include common-account
password include common-password
session include common-session
After thar I could log in with correct password, and with invalid not.
Correct:
2014-03-30T13:33:00.038769+02:00 sco unix_chkpwd[8536]: could not obtain user info (tomz)
Invalid:
2014-03-30T13:32:26.193178+02:00 sco cinnamon-screensaver-dialog: gkr-pam: the password for the login keyring was invalid.
