I see I made a mistake in my above comment. It's 'killall -HUP compiz' that I've been using, not the unity process.
One recurring theme I've noticed is that it seems like every time this happens, the Software Updater icon is in my panel. There is no window for Software Updater and I can't make one visible. I'm wondering if if this bug may be related to a button getting added to the panel while the password screen is up. I've set my computer to never check for updates now to see if that keeps this from happening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301125 Title: Lock screen after idle time freezes unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1301125/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
