Gnome-screensaver 2.30.0-1 : Can't unlock the screen

Starting about two weeks ago, I haven't been able to unlock my screen after the screensaver kicks in.  When I move the mouse, the desktop background image flashes for a split second, the mouse cursor is visible, and then the screensaver resumes: the prompt to unlock the screen never appears.  The only way to get back to the desktop is to kill gnome-screensaver.  I've tried re-installing it, and all of it's dependancies (with the exception of libgl as it conflicts with the nvidia package).  As I expected, no luck there, but I didn't know what else to do...
Here's the output of "gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug"
http://pastebin.com/1B4UZaDj
I don't know if this helps, but here's some interesting output from LD_DEBUG=libs gnome-screensaver:
7559: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: g_module_unload (fatal)
7559: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: gtk_module_display_init (fatal)
7559: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: g_module_unload (fatal)
7559: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: g_module_check_init (fatal)
7559: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: g_module_unload (fatal)
I hope that doesn't steer anyone in the wrong direction; I just learned about LD_DEBUG last night so I don't know if it's of any help. 
Any help will be appreciated.

My gtk2 was already up to date (gtk2 2.20.1-2).  I tried removing it, re-installing it, and then running ldconfig, but the issue is still present.

  • I can't unlock the screen to access my macbook pro. When I enter the password it just jiggles. I'm not getting an error message, so I'm pretty certain that the password is correct. Any suggestions?

    I already checked that one.
    I'm baffled, especially since it will usually give you the Invalid user name or password entered message. I'm not getting that. Instead the password field just jiggles back and forth. Very odd.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    how can I unlock the screen after a shock lighter?

    What is a shock lighter? I don't understand what you are asking? If you are saying the the slide to unlock isn't working, try rebooting your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

  • Can't lock the screen anymore with a password

    I can't lock the screen anymore since I installed Mavericks. I have assigned a password to the screensaver in the system preferences, but when I activate the screensaver on my iMac 8,1 it does not ask for the password when I wake it up from sleep. I have checked the option in the security preferences that the Mac should ask for a password immediately.
    Any idea how the enable the password?

    Okay, the problem is solved. I don't really know how - I just restarted the mac several times and now it works.

  • Can I change the Screen colour and font size?

    Can I change the screen colour and font size?

    Yes. Use an iPhone browser, such as iExplorer, to access your iPhone's file system. The screensaver photos are stored here;
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultAnimalPhotos
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultFlowerPhotos
    Once you locate these files, you can replace the photos with your own or add more to the folders. Do not change the name of the the folder.

  • Why I can not unlock the record when close a page?

    I develop a jsp page as client,the jsp application use a business componment with statefull application module.i call a database rowset's lock function in jsp page to lock a record,now,after i close the jsp page without commit and rollback,the record is not unlocked,until i restart the oc4j application server.how can i unlock the record when close the page without commit and rollback?????

    Li Ping:
    If you lock a row in the course of a transaction, you cannot unlock the row until the end of transaction (either rollback or commit). DBMS doesn't allow this.
    Alternatively, you can try to delay locking of the row. E.g., you can try using optimistic locking. Please see the Java Doc for oracle.jbo.Transaction if you're interested in optimistic locking.
    Thanks.

  • How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?

    I just upgraded to the iPhone 4.  When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to.  How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking?  It's driving me NUTS.

    The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.
