Title:
light-locker causes tty to change
Status in light-locker package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
After upgrading to 18.04, on xfce4 with Display Power Management
(xfce4-power-manager) enabled, or any of the three sliders set to non-
zero, then when the time limit is hit after inactivity two monitors
power down, but then the tty switches to tty8, and the third monitor
just shows a black with a cursor flashing. Switching back to tty7
shows text saying that the session is locked, but no amount of
keyboard or mouse activity brings up a prompt to unlock it.
Two Xorg logs are created when this happens (see attached). Ctrl-
Alt-F# will switch to other ttys at this point, but only briefly
before switching back to the one that is black with a single flashing
cursor. After a few switchings between ttys, it stops automatically
going back to tty8.
This problem also occurs when xscreensaver is used to control the
display power management as well. However on switching back to tty7 in
this case, the unlock dialog is presented as expected and things
continue to work. So it would appear it is something more fundamental
than xfce4-power-manager that is causing the active tty to change when
the screens go sleep.
The screen power off that occurs while the lightdm's graphical login
is presented (i.e. before logging in) works fine.
This problem appears to be due to light-locker. If I stop it from
running the problem goes away.
(I would expect things to happen as in 17.10, namely that the displays
blank/switch off as selected, and then when further input is given
they unblank/switch on.)
Please let me know what further information I can provide to narrow
down the problem.
