Hi Maarten - happy to do that, but I need more explicit instructions.

Also, I've now seen this happen twice under slightly different
circumstances. When I first reported this, I was referring to a
situation in which my screen automatically locks after inactivity.  To
avoid that, I have now changed it so that it doesn't lock, but it does
turn off after inactivity and am getting the same behaviour (i.e,.
external monitor black, can't do anything on laptop, unplugging monitor
makes both go black).  I've now had to change to neither lock nor turn
off after inactivity in order to maintain a functional system, but
obviously this isn't an ideal config.

  Log in not available after lock screen with multi-monitor

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
