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

 

We use the same setup, and have had the same experiences:
1) LDAP configuration hasn't changed in years
2) Login screen works fine
3) Home areas are served via NFS+automount
4) Problems only appeared after installing 14.04 (we did fresh installs
though, not upgrades)

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 :(
