Public bug reported: On occasion, not too often, but i caught it twice so far in last 48 hours of using Ubuntu 11.10 on new HP Laptop, i've noticed the following:
When I resume from sleep/suspend (when i close my laptop lid and reopen it), on occasion, it will not prompt for password. It will simply reopen my desktop but with the following caveats: There is no taskbar on the left and no menubar on the top. Also, i can not drag/move/close any windows that are on the screen (but i can interact with them). I've seen other people report (on askubuntu) that on resume from sleep they have no menubar/taskbar, but i noticed that when this happens for me there is no password prompt first. I noticed this because i have a habit of when i open my laptop the first thing i do is enter my password, either in Linux or Windows, and these times there was no password prompt on resume from suspend. This leads me to believe unity is waiting for the password to be enterred to resume, but since there is no password prompt, unity never resumes its display. Again, this does not happen every time, it's only happened for sure twice in 2 days of heavy usage. -Rob p.s. I was told at askubuntu.com to report the bug, and was also told it would probably get low priority because it does not ALWAYS happen. I understand that, but hope someone can find something easy to fix here. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928576 Title: No password prompt (occasionally) on resume, causes unity problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/928576/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
