[Thierry Mallard <1311316@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Problem occurs with up-to-date Ubuntu 14.04.2 on Dell Inspiron 7348.
Ctrl+Alt+F2 and service lightdm restart does the trick (with work lost of course).

1. Do you use a multi-head setup? If yes, using just one monitor fixes the issue?
No multi-head

2. Can you reproduce all the time?
If a session is opened, yes, apparently.
If I loggout of session before closing the lid, it seems to work correctly

3. Do you use ldap? If yes, using gnome-screensaver fix the issue (see comment #115) can you still reproduce that?
No

4. Please consider posting /var/log/auth.log (at least part of it, should not contain sensitive information)
OK, posted as attachement

5. Please specify the unity version

  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 :(
