Not 100% sure if I'm having the same problem or not as it only started to occur after I upgraded to gutsy xubuntu, but I have the following problem and it sounds very similar.
I have the screensaver app set to blank and lock the screen after 10 minutes, and most of the time I can press a key or move the mouse and the password box appears, I type in the password and off I go. However every so often, I'm not sure if it's only when I shut the lid on my laptop or after a certain amount of time has passed but the computer becomes unresponsive at least as far as accepting a password. I can hit ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to a console, and ctrl+alt+f7 to switch back to X, but it doesn't matter what I do I can't get back to "normal". After killing gnome-screensaver from the console I can see my system etc the way I left it, but the mouse and other things (alt+tab) are still disabled because of the screensaver. Although I'm usually able to move mouse so that might be something else. On the mouse thing still, I was trying to salvage my existing session and loaded a second X and when I switched back to the first instance where the mouse was on the second it also appears the mouse moved to the same location on the first. -- Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
