I purged both xfce4-screensaver and light-locker packages, restarted lightdm and tested with x-p-m set to suspend on lid-close for battery (and AC as I've had the battery exhaust several times due to the length of these tests!)
In this case there is no password challenge dialog on resume. It failed on 1st suspend-resume cycle. GUI TTY blanked, but console TTYs are fine. I was thinking back to the tests I did when this first hit 18.04 (when I reported this bug originally) and seem to recall that adding debug logging was enough to prevent the failure and led me to hypothesise this is a race condition. I'm going to try booting the systems with maxcpus= 1 and 0. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759950 Title: Lid-close suspend: blank screen when switching to user session Status in Light-Locker: New Status in Xfce4 Power Manager: Confirmed Status in light-locker package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Status in xfce4-power-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xubuntu-default-settings package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm currently testing Xubuntu 18.04 after a do-release-upgrade from 16.04. I discovered a very weird issue. When doing S3 sleep via closing the lid, on resume the lock screen appears, I authenticate, but as soon as it switches to the user session the screen goes blank - not even a backlight. Switching to other ttys works and they display correctly but the GUI user session remains blank. If the system is manually suspended (not using the lid), then resumed either by opening the lid or pressing the power button, the GUI user session is fine. I narrowed it down to xfce4-power-manager and discovered disabling the lock-screen cured the issue. I cloned the repository and reviewed commits between 1.7 and 1.8. Fortunately there aren't many. Looking at 6365683 "Proper exit status for light-locker-command" I suspected the change in the SetActive return value, and reverted it. After a build/install cycle I've found the system now behaves correctly so I think the change should be reverted.
