Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, but I've just realized this isn't a bug: I had a VirtualBox virtual machine running, it grabbed the keyboard so locking the host (ubuntu) screen (by just locking it, or also by suspending/resuming) always results in the unability to input the password, since the keyboard remains grabbed by the virtual machine.
There' no easy workaround either: I just need to exit VM full screen (via Right-Ctrl+F), then ungrab the keyboard (via Right-Ctrl); then I can safely close the lid of my notebook!
I will anyway try and post this as a feature inquiry/request on virtualbox.org: since the user can still access a console (via Ctrl+Alt+F*), is there a comand-line util to send a "ungrab keyboard" command to a running VM?

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 on Acer TravelMate P253: keyboard lost after resume

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,
  on my new Acer TravelMate P253 notebook, Ubuntu desktop 14.04 looses the keyboard after suspend/resume, thus leaving me locked out of my session, since I can't input the password to unlock!
  Note, though, that I can still press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to console and login normally in character-mode: if I only knew a command to reload the x11 keyboard driver or something like that, I could avoid shutting everything down with "init 0", which is my usual solution...
  Thank you for any suggestion!
  Adalberto
