[Bug 1315369] Re: Log in not available after lock screen with multi-monitor

 

I can't get the mouse over to the external monitor.  I can move it
around in the laptop screen, but can't escape the boundaries of that
screen when this is happening.

I tried typing the password (without being able to see anything), but
that didn't work.

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
