I have the same bug as described on my fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04, however I'm with a newer kernel because of problems with my wifi drivers in previous versions, which were fixed: Linux 3.17.3-031703-generic #201411141335 SMP Fri Nov 14 18:36:40 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 14.04 trusty
The problem is reproducible multiple times. After closing the laptop lid and going in suspend for a longer period, when opened the laptop displays the welcome screen with my wallpaper, but does not have any field to enter password. Clicking any sound/lang icons on the menu bar does not help, but waiting for a bit of time does. Diagnostics so far: So I dig a bit myself and looked at the log of lightdm, with "the problem" occurring here: [+0.28s] DEBUG: Session pid=1224: Running command /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session /usr/sbin/unity-greeter [+0.28s] DEBUG: Creating shared data directory /var/lib/lightdm-data/lightdm [+0.28s] DEBUG: Session pid=1224: Logging to /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log [+0.33s] DEBUG: Activating VT 7 [+0.33s] DEBUG: Activating login1 session c1 [+0.45s] DEBUG: Session pid=1224: Greeter connected version=1.10.3 [+0.60s] DEBUG: Session pid=1224: Greeter start authentication for alex [+0.60s] DEBUG: Session pid=1283: Started with service 'lightdm', username 'alex' [+1.67s] DEBUG: Session pid=1283: Got 1 message(s) from PAM [+1.67s] DEBUG: Session pid=1224: Prompt greeter with 1 message(s) [+3.49s] DEBUG: Session pid=1283: Authentication complete with return value 0: Success As can be seen the period 0.60-1.67 is just waiting for the PAM service to respond (1 minute wait). I typed my password asap as it was available, so my guess is it is connected with the PAM service. I will look into it, but if someone has an idea why would be great. The /var/log/auth.log does not contain any useful information for the why the problem is occurring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Will be included with next SRU. *** If you can reproduce this bug please be sure to provide the following info: 1. Do you use a multi-head setup? If yes, using just one monitor fixes the issue? 2. Can you reproduce all the time? 3. Do you use ldap? If yes, using gnome-screensaver fix the issue (see comment #115) can you still reproduce that? 4. Please consider posting /var/log/auth.log (at least part of it, should not contain sensitive information) 5. Please specify the unity version *** END IMPORTANT ** 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 :( ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: unity 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Tue Apr 22 22:17:57 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-03-03 (780 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110427.1) SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2013-10-18 (186 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1311316/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
