[Bug 1311316] Re: After locking screen there is no input field to type password for unlock

 

Just noticed: sometimes (if the problem occurs) I see the screen I've
posted after locking the screen (ctrl-alt-l). If I don't touch the
keyboard and mouse the screen fades into black and after some seconds I
see the login screen presented with full bright again where I can unlock
the session. I don't know too well the new features of the unity
desktop, but I guess the first (problematic) screen may be the unity-
locker and only that have the problem. Moreover, it's kinda strange for
me that I lock my computer (notebook) so I expect that it should save
power to turn off display, fade to black etc, but after it happens I get
the login screen where I can unlock my session but it's not faded etc. I
try to adjust settings in gnome control center and unity control center
(I am not sure they are some or not) but I couldn't figure out what
settings affect these exactly.

Bug description:
  Sometimes (but not always) after locking the screen there is the
  situation not having any input field where I can type the password to
  unlock the session again. The shaded gray area simply does not have
  the input field. I can't do anything, I have to switch to text console
  and stop/start lightdm service to cure the problem loosing all of my
  session :(
