This bug seems to lie in the code the requires a password atfer closing the laptop lid, rather than in the screensaver.
Aside from the fact that the pointer disappears, this code that is supposedly for security shows the prior screen display after the laptop lid is opened, before blanking and asking for the login. This is a security hazard in the event that the laptop has been stolen because the contents of the display might be confidential. I have a HP Stream 13 with Xubuntu 16.04 XFCE Power Manager Power Manager Settings General: when power button is pressed - do nothing when sleep button is pressed - do nothing when hibernate button is pressed - do nothing tick - handle display brightness keys when laptop lis is closed - on battery, suspend - plugged in, suspecnt tick - show notifications tick - show system tray icon Security: Automatically lock the session - never Delay locking after screensave for - 1 seconds [= minimum] unticked - lock screen when system is going for sleep [Please can we change these to "1 second" and "going to sleep] Behaviour with these settings: I close the lid, wait and reopen it - pointer is still there I close the lid, wait and reopen it screen is on when I first open the lid then screen goes blank, power light flashes does not wake up when I stroke my finger across the touchpad does wake up when I hit return screen comes back, power light is on steadily, pointer is there pointer disappears when I hit any printing key on the keyboard (return, space, letters, digits, puctuation) but not when I hit tab arrows backspace escape (I am using Emacs) pointer comes back when I stroke my finger across the touchpad Change power manager settings: tick - lock screen when system is going for sleep I close the lid, wait and reopen it Sometimes the screen comes on and shows whatever was on it before (this might be confidential material, so this is a security hazard) Then screen goes blank if I hit a key after which it goes to the login screen but the pointer is shown while the login screen is displayed The pointer disappears after I have logged in and does not reappaear when I stroke the touchpad although it does if I do ctrl-alt-f2 and then ctrl-alt-f7. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573454 Title: Mouse pointer disappear after suspend in Xubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1573454/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
