Cannot Login From Screen Lock (Gnome)
Issue
When launching a gnome desktop and the screen lock is initiated after being idle, the user cannot log back in after entering their password.
This occurs in the latest version of gnome in which the password inputted is not registered by gnome and the screen lock does not unlock.
Solution
Use the following command to launch gnome.
dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session --systemd
Note
- dbus-x11 package may need to be installed in order to use dbus-launch
