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

 

I have the same issue here, Ubuntu 14.04.1 64bit (3.13.0-33-generic)
with Unity, using Dual screen and NVS 300, Nvidia proprietory drivers v
340.24.

Sometimes in the past I was able to get the input password box to appear
when I was moving the mouse around from one screen to another. This was
causing the login box to change screens and sometimes the input would
come back. Lately this doesn't work for me any more, and the only work
around is the unity --replace command from a terminal. I also noticed
that when I come back to my session my gnome-terminal is completely lost
in the background and if it was minimized I cannot bring it back. I
don't know if this is related.

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 :(
