to log in back again.

I'm using ordinary password authentication here. This system has also
been through multiple upgrades, but I haven't upgraded to 16.04 yet. I
run Gnome 3 on another machine without this problem (but I probably get
that password right more often).
Let me know if there is anything I can look up or
Actually one more comment - I was digging into my auth.log and it may be
video related. The logs when it failed to unlock and when it succeeds
are identical. I then noticed that one of my three monitors shows
garbage at the bottom when I tap the top left corner to bring up the app
chooser view
Thanks for that tip Michael. Sad, but after updating to 16.04 the
problem persists. I can't seem to find a permanent fix.
I've also changed video cards (nvidia 960 now) so the vid card itself
apparently wasn't involved. This is an upgrade install all the way from
12.04 if I remember correctly,
Having this issue as well on 15.10.
Partial fix: After killing gnome-screensaver from a TTY, I've found that
running:
gnome-screensaver-command -a
activates the screen saver, but once unlocked, eliminates the screen-
blanking problem that Tony Maro described.

This is still an issue for me on 15.04. I have to alt-f1, log in and
kill gnome-screensaver. Then I need to save everything and reboot
because every few seconds the screen will turn black after doing this.
I don't use ecryptfs, I don't have several copies of gnome-screensaver
running when this
Best way I have found to switch back to your user it to use the Switch
User button in gnome-screensaver, and use GDM to get back in.
If you prefer terminal, killall gnome-screensaver is much faster than
finding the PID of the process and killing that.
I just got fed up enough to quit using it

I usually see this happen if my ecryptfs home directory has somehow become
unmounted...
There's an outstanding bug in Sudo 1.8.2 which causes this (and is due to be
fixed in 1.8.3), see Debian bug #639391.

There is several instances of gnome-screensaver running when this bug occurs.
When the screen is stuck on checking... you can verify this by logging in in
a different tty (with ctrl+alt+F1 or F2, etc...) and try ::
pstree -p | grep screen
(-p is for having PID needed to kill the process)

I'm also affected by this bug ! The only way I've found to work around
this bug is to modify gnome-power-manager settings using gconf and
untick options related to asking password after suspend or hibernation.

When I lock the screen either by using the screensaver, locking
