[Bug 1611162] Re: 16.04.1 LTS: using "screen lock" requires reboot to use computer
UPDATE II: more details for the previous UPDATE. It seems that when I activate screen lock VIA THE KEYBOARD (Ctrl+Alt+L), I DO NOT get the "go to sleep and reboot" phenomenon to occur. When I use THE MOUSE to click on the "services" icon (upper-right of screen, next to the "Date/Time" display), scroll down to the "Lock Ctrl+Alt+L" line and click on it, the screen lock activates THEN within 10 seconds the display DIMS, then BLANKS, my display shows "Entering power save mode - no signal detected", then the "go to sleep and reboot" phenomenon occurs. NOTE: when I moved the mouse Just As The Screen Started To Dim, the display returned to normal brightness and the phenomenon did not occur. AGAIN: I have DISABLED the "Screen Off after xx minutes" and "Require password when waking from suspend" function/option in "System Settings, Brightness & Lock". Right now, my "workaround" for using Screen Lock is to USE THE KEYBOARD, not the mouse, to enable the function. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611162 Title: 16.04.1 LTS: using "screen lock" requires reboot to use computer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1611162/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1611162] Re: 16.04.1 LTS: using "screen lock" requires reboot to use computer
UPDATE: I think I discovered the "root problem"! it looks like the
"Screen Off after xx minutes" function, combined with the "Require
password when waking from suspend" option checked (System Settings,
Brightness & Lock) is causing the problem. The attached screen capture
shows the relevant settings. DATA: I DISABLED the "Screen off" function
("Never" option) and un-checked the "Require password when waking..."
option, then activated the Screen Lock and "let it sit". I was able to
exit Screen Lock via my password. I then re-enabled the aforementioned
"Brightness & Lock" options (see the attached Screen Capture picture for
the settings) and THE PROBLEM CAME BACK! when I enabled Screen Lock, the
screen "faded out" then the monitor went into "power save" mode (i.e.,
"no input signal detected"). I then moved my mouse/"worked" the
keyboard, and the display NEVER CAME BACK - I had to reboot (via RESET
button) to regain functionality.
For the record, BEFORE the upgrade from 14.04 LTS, the system was set to
use the aforementioned "Screen off..." and "Require password when
waking..." functions and there were no problems in coming out of Screen
Lock by moving the mouse/"working" the keyboard.

OK, after some more "rooting around" @ the Ubuntu site (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage#Finding_the_Package_Name), I (finally) found the page with the information pertaining to my problem: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingScreenLocking/HowScreenLockingWorks.
