I don't have a dual monitor or anything, when I opened the lid of my laptop in the morning the usual login/unlock screen did not display a password prompt, it just showed my name and no buttons, no text inputs, nothing.
This was the workaround that worked for me (from another pts/vc): DISPLAY=:0 compiz --replace More info: $ unity --version unity 7.2.6 $ apt show unity Package: unity Priority: optional Section: gnome Installed-Size: 6,463 kB Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Version: 7.2.6+14.04.20160408-0ubuntu1 $ unity --reset ERROR: the reset option is now deprecated $ compiz --version Compiz 0.9.11.3 $ apt show compiz Package: compiz Priority: optional Section: x11 Installed-Size: 131 kB Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <debia...@lists.debian.org> Version: 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311316 Title: After locking screen there is no input field to type password for unlock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1311316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
