[Bug 1465974] [NEW] LightDM lock screen unresponsive after resume from suspend (Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro)

 

Public bug reported:

When my laptop resumes from suspend, I often end up in an unresponsive lock screen. I can only move the mousepointer, but clicking or typing (password) does nothing, so I can't log in. When this happens, the lock screen is displayed in various states of completeness:
- Often I see a complete lock screen (with password input field etc), 
- Sometimes it's just the background without password input box with only the mouse cursor on it.  
- sometimes the screen is completely black, with only the mouse cursor on it.  

Tried possible solutions/workarounds:
- I can switch to a different VT, but when switching back to the lockscreen, it remains unresponsive
- suspending and resuming once: again: it remains unresponsive
- Very rarely seemingly random actions like starting a second X server (startx) or killing a unity* proces (like unity-panel-service) can make the lockscreen snap out of it, and start responding to events (key presses) again.

This bug is critical as the only real way to recover is to restart
lightdm or reboot, which destroyes the session plus all applications
running, including any open documents.

There's a very similar bugreport (for Ubuntu 14.04):

but there's no progress there. 


I'm willing to provide additional logs/info
