For me Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-F7 enables the screen but shows a message "This session is locked", which never goes away. But Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-F8 allows to unlock normally. This is a workaround #1.
This happens on a Dell laptop (7490, built-in Intel Graphics). Maybe Dell physically disconnects the screen when lid is closed. Workaround #2: Default Lid Close action in xfce Power Manager is "Lock". If I change it to "Suspend", the problem goes away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769061 Title: Screen lock + Laptop lid close forces suspend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1769061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
