Having this issue as well on 15.10.

Partial fix: After killing gnome-screensaver from a TTY, I've found that
running:

    gnome-screensaver-command -a

activates the screen saver, but once unlocked, eliminates the screen-
blanking problem that Tony Maro described.

Will also try "gnome-screensaver-command -d" instead of killing gnome-
screensaver next time it happens to see if it works better.

Title:
  Screen doesn't unlock; stuck on "Checking"

Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  When I lock the screen either by using the screensaver, locking
  manually, or returning from a hibernate, when the authentication
  dialog comes up, it doesn't unlock the screen when I enter my
  password. Instead, it just hangs on "Checking..." forever until I
  manually kill gnome-screensaver.

  This is on a Lenovo Ideapad, with Ubuntu 10.10 i386. None of the
  issues listed here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingScreenLocking)
  apply to me.
