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

 

I am also having this issue. I attempted the "unity --replace"
workaround, and it appeared to kill my existing session.

I'd also like to note that I use VMWare workstation (my machine with the
problem is the host) and if I leave my cursor in my vmware window the
screensaver doesn't activate until I move my mouse out of VMware. This
may be unreleated but I wanted to mention it in case it is meaningful to
others.

HP EliteBook 8770w, Ubuntu 14.04.1 64bit, Nvidia Proprietary drivers:
331.38.

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 :(
