Whenever I attempt to log in to my qubes os from Suspend Mode, the authentication fails, but only if the screen happens to flicker while I’m entering the password. Otherwise, authentication works fine.
It’s not a high-level issue since all I have to do is re-enter the password again and it works. But it is a bit of an annoyance.
Any ideas on what could be happening?
Thanks!
This is happening to me too. Often it takes me 3 to 5 or even more tries to login even when I KNOW i am tying the password correctly.
I also think this is a screenlock bug because I never fail to enter my pw correctly during intial boot or initial login, the “failures” only happen during the screenlock pw.
I have noticed the screen flickering as well, but sometimes it fails even when I do not see the screen flicker.
YES! This seemed to go away for a bit, but recently it’s back with a vengeance, even after complete reinstalls.
These days it usually takes me an average of three authentication attempts. It’s becoming a MAJOR deterrent! (Sorry for the caps lock, but yeesh!)
Sadly, I can’t seem to figure out how to fix it. It seems pretty low-level in the architecture. And accurately reproducing it for a bug report is impossible.
I jumped into Qubes with both feet about a year ago because I love the concept—it’s like legos for operating systems—and once I finally understood it, it opened a whole new world for me.
Unfortunately, as you can see from the age of this, it’s been tough to get any assistance. Maybe I can hack a newer AI prompt to help me crack it.
Let me know if you figure this out!!
This is the kind of thing that can be a real roadblock to reaching a wider audience and adoption.
It’s really bad yea - so much so that I have just disabled sleep / screenlock on my machine, which is obviously terrible for security.
You could post your experience here to hopefully try to get some more attention to the issue in front of the devs:
