Public bug reported:
Logging in after a fresh boot works fine. Subsequently, after locking
the screen (either Super + L or allow to auto-lock) and letting the
screen turn off automatically, then attempting to wake the machine, only
a black screen and the mouse cursor are visible. The desktop and
authentication prompt do not re-appear, and though the mouse cursor
moves, the machine doesn't respond to keyboard entry except to switch to
a virtual console with Ctrl + Alt + 1 (2, 3, etc). From there it's
possible to reboot or kill -HUP lightdm, but in either case, the active
Unity login session is lost. I've check various log files, including
/var/log/lightdm/* but haven't noticed any obvious culprits.
