Description Tomoaki AOKI 2021-12-30 01:55:47 UTC 
After upgrading from 1.26.0 to 1.26.1, mate-screensaver no longer opens login panel, thus need killing mate-screensaver process from any of vty to go back to X screen.

I suspect prerequisite(s) for commit [1] upstream does not met or some additional (manual, possibly per-user) configurations are needed.

I should have tested the screen lock before committing. Looks like the new implementation of pam is the problem.
Comment 2 Eric Turgeon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-12-31 23:05:06 UTC 
I made a GitHub issue  https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-screensaver/issues/272 with the information I have so far.

I will be able to patch the port to fix the issue temporarily.

But a proper fix will need to be done upstream.

This patch should do it for now.

Thanks!
Confirmed working again on git src main 398c88c7582a and git src stable/13 375fdb6e161e, both on amd64.

Hope upstream add an option to toggle this behaviour at least until we can (hopefully) find any way to support new method.
Possibly, security/pam-helper needs updating?
Comment 6 rkoberman 2022-01-02 07:25:22 UTC 
This should be fixed in 1.26.1_1. Try updating to that.

I do not think it is security/pam-helper the problem.
