GNOME Lockscreen Freeze On Notification

Hi,

I just installed CentOS 7 with GNOME on my new Dell Latitude E6230
laptop. So far, everything runs nicely. I just have one problem with the GNOME lockscreen.

I launched the OwnCloud client and started to synchronize about 20 GB of data from my OwnCloud server. During the sync, I left the laptop unattended. After about 15 minutes, the desktop was replaced by the lockscreen, as it should.

As soon as the OwnCloud sync was finished, there was a corresponding notification that displayed on the lockscreen.

Usually I hit [Enter] to exit the lockscreen by providing my user password. Only this time nothing happened. The lockscreen seemed to have frozen with the notification in the center. To exit it, I had to hard reset my laptop.

Anyone knows what could be the problem here?

Cheers,

Niki

  • Not sure if the notification caused your problem or if it was a red herring. I always receive tons of notifications while my screen is locked, Slack, Firefox (Facebook, Google Calendar, etc), Thunderbird, etc. None of them has ever caused any problem with the GNOME lockscreen.
