[Bug 1407183] Re: Black screen after entering password on light-locker

 

On my HP Pavilion dv6205us laptop, 
Xubuntu 14.10 (x86), 
without changing /etc/systemd/logind.conf, 
having setting xfce-power-manager to lock the screen when laptop lid is closed,
I have a similar problem: 
When I close the lid, the laptop suspends (this is another bug). After resuming and entering the password, it shows black screen, just like my Probook with. I ran ubuntu-bug for this machine also.

Title:
  Black screen after entering password on light-locker

Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have Xubuntu 14.10 (x64) installed on my HP ProBook 6470b and experienced that the laptop suspends on closing the lid while it should only lock the screen. I found several complaints on forums that xfce-power-manager-settings doesn't perform well, so I made a change to the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file:
  "HandleLidSwitch=ignore".
  Now if I close the lid, it locks the screen as expected. When opening and entering the correct password for the same user, the screen goes black. I can log into each user account only once and cannot return to any open session after locking the screen. Restarting lightdm works but is not a solution for programmes with unsaved work.
  The system also prompts for password when resuming from suspend, but that works alright.
