What happens if you move the mouse on the external monitor?
Does the login prompt appear?
Or, are you able to just type (without seeing anything) and hit enter to get in?

The blank screen thing doesn't seem an unity issue, though. Since if you
can see the ubuntu logo on the laptop screen, then it means that unity
is not blanking the screen anymore, but it looks like that a lower level
component (unity-settings-daemon's power module?) didn't turn that
monitor on.

Title:
  Log in not available after lock screen with multi-monitor

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After the screen locks I am unable to log back in because the screen
  with the login prompt is black, and the screen on my laptop just shows
  the Ubuntu logo.

  Furthermore, if I then unplug the external monitor (in an attempt to
  force the log in option to be displayed on the laptop)  the laptop
  screen then goes black and I can't do anything at all.

  I can't reproduce this if I select "lock screen" from the UI, but it
  happens reliably if it locks due to inactivity.

  Other info:
  - I am running a fresh install of 14.04
  - I have it set to lock after 5 min of inactivity, and require login after lock
  - I have an external monitor, configured to be on the left side of the laptop screen
