I'm seeing the same issue on my Thinkpad X230. In addition to Unity on the stable release of 15.10, I've experienced the same problem on Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 using gnome-shell 3.16 and on Arch using gnome-shell 3.18, so could it in some way be related to this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753678, since Wily upgraded many Gnome parts to 3.16?
Unity in 15.04 and different versions of KDE with SDDM and XFCE with Lightdm all work fine on this laptop, so it really seems like it has something to do with Gnome 3.16. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #753678 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753678 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1504362 Title: Desktop flashes briefly on resume before going to lock screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1504362/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
