As recently as kubuntu 16.04, it is not fixed if the user switches to the 
nvidia video driver.
I tried several times to switch back to nouveau and back with no luck. 
About 95% of the time I'd get a blank screen;  no prompt.  The rest of the time 
I'd get the unlock prompt but keyboard input was ignored.
The fact that the update manager is also broken in kubuntu 16.04 doesn't help.  
I was able to switch back and forth using  'ubuntu-drivers devices' and 
apt-get.  I also tried 'update-initramfs -u' incase hid/usb was somehow not 
there.

What finally worked was to change grub to 'quiet nosplash'  -- get rid
of the splash screen.
