I've faced this on and off. I don't know what triggers this behavior, but once it started I think it stays until the system is rebooted (not sure if rebooting solves this though). One more thing I've noticed happening with this is that, the "Lock screen" from menu doesn't work - I've to use Ctrl-Alt-L instead.
Also, when Ubuntu behaves normally, the Suspend sequence that I used see was the screen going blank first, followed by HDD activity and then going to sleep. Now, when I've this problem, I can see that my screen stays active, and volume tray icon has "x" overlay (muted), and then the screen goes blank followed by sleep. Later when I resume, it just directly goes to my desktop without asking for password! (`ps` says gnome-screensaver running) -- sometimes resume from suspend doesn't ask for password, instead goes to straight to the desktop instead. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
