Similar experience as Emmanuel C (comment #47): I have been running 14.04 LTS i386 (in different flavours) on two (old) HP dx5150 each with AMD Athlon 64 and (IGP) ATI RS480. These are used for development and test. Worked like a charm.
For a new project, I installed 16.04.1 LTS i386 on one of them, and immediately started having problems with the screen saver not exiting on keyboard/mouse activity. Now, I installed 14.04.5 LTS 64bit and the problem seems now to have been backported... :( And as Emmanuel describes, no keyboard activity, like Ctrl-Alt-F1, works. The only things that works is a) restarting lightdm when the problem occurs (using ssh, if I remember to install it...) and b) setting the idle time for the screen saver to Never so that the problem does not occur. I am quite amazed over the longevity of this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301125 Title: Lock screen after idle time freezes unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1301125/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
