Public bug reported:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
-> About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch)
Release: 16.04
I use gnome-flashback with compiz on my machines. I have four (2 single
screen and 2 dual screen) and the problem only occur on the single
screen machines.
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
gnome-screensaver:
Installed: 3.6.1-7ubuntu4
Candidate: 3.6.1-7ubuntu4
Version table:
*** 3.6.1-7ubuntu4 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3) What you expected to happen
Get back to the desktop when I touch the mouse or keyboard.
4) What happened instead
Screen is on and black except the clock line and locked (Why? I do not lock my
screens) user name at the top, plus the mouse pointer.
The only keyboard input available is switch to virtual terminals.
There is no way to get back to the desktop. I just kill the session by "sudo
killall lightdm" and log in again.
