I experience this in precise, but only when running a unity session, and also not really reliably on two (sandy-bridge) systems.
One system is a desktop PC running a radeon 6670 graphics card. There, I experienced this each time when resuming after suspending the machine reliably. Switching from unity to gnome3 seems to help. The other system is a laptop that was recently upgraded to precise. I have added a session item that locks the screen when logging in (because the system is configured to auto-login). Here, the described symptom happens already at login time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/712103 Title: unlocking dialog doesn't show Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver In natty, the screensaver unlock dialog doesn't come up. Yet it DOES work (it does unlock the screen) but only if you type in the password blind, press enter and switch to the console and back to X11. If you don't switch back and forth between X and the console, the screensaver output stays on screen. In some cases, the screen will re-lock itself after the switch.
