Title:
  lightdm fails to unlock with serial console configured

Status in light-locker package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  With /etc/default/grub configured for serial console output as follows
  (seehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto):

  GRUB_DEFAULT=0
  GRUB_TIMEOUT=3
  GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8"

  #GRUB_TERMINAL=console
  GRUB_TERMINAL="serial console"
  GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=9600 --unit=0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"

  Lightdm fails to unlock a locked screen. Initial login works fine.
  But, when the screen locks, the correct password is accepted, but the
  screen does not unlock.

  If I disable serial console with the default "GRUB_TERMINAL=console",
  lightdm screen unlock seems to work fine. I don't know if this is a
  problem with lightdm or light-locker.
