Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 3.6.1-1
Severity: important

Quite often I'm unable to unlock the screen. This happens almost always
when the computer is not used locally for serveral hours.

The screen look similar to 

    http://i.stack.imgur.com/ejs4C.png

After pressing Enter the arrows moves but that's all.

I tried the unlock the screen remotely following the advice of

  http://askubuntu.com/questions/341014/unlock-login-screen-using-command-line

but it doesn't work for me:

jsbien@debian2050pc1:~$ DISPLAY=:0 gnome-screensaver-command -d
** Message: Failed to get session bus: Error spawning command line 'dbus-launch --autolaunch=c5dd83e04d31e5407fe1366551d54718 --binary-syntax --close-stderr': Child process exited with code 1

&gt;          boolean:false
Failed to open connection to &quot;session&quot; message bus: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified
Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

I will appreciate your help.

Best regards
