Hello,Running UBUNTU Hoary, GNOME 2.10.0
Please advise me which screen-locking application to use to make "New Login" available. It was working, but a recent update has left it so that only the user who locked the desktop can unlock it; a different user cannot start a new session.
May I ask you to be more accurate in your question ? do you mean another user locked the session, you have to unlock it ? Call the administrator. If it is you, I think become root and change password for that user could do it.
I don't understand what the update did in locking... either we lock the
screen or we end a session, so which one ? :)
If it matters (as it may), I also find I cannot switch out to one of the virtual consoles.Don't know. It may depend on some machine components (something to add
to the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst).
Or it may need a BIOS update (but don't do it by yourself the first time if you are a beginner).
Best greetings, Joyce Markoll.
