Public bug reported:
After waking up my laptop computer (HP EliteBook 8560w) from suspend-to-
RAM, I very often but not always (perhaps around 80%) cannot unlock the
screen, because parts of the windows (often triangles) of the programs
that are currently running (and basically should be "behind" rather than
in front of the lock screen) flicker around so that I cannot enter my
password. I found a solution that mostly but not always (perhaps around
60-70%) works: use Ctrl-Alt-F6 to switch to a text console, log in,
execute "pkill kwin_x11", and use Alt-F7 to switch back to the graphical
console; then I can unlock the screen, because the flickering windows
have disappeared and the lock screen is in the foreground; after
unlocking the screen, the window decorations have disappeared and I
cannot switch between windows etc, but I can use Alt-F2 and execute
"kwin_x11", which brings back the window decorations and usually
everything works again as it should.
Sometimes after killing kwin_x11 (perhaps around 20-30%), a program
window (which is no longer flickering) is in front of the lock screen so
that I cannot unlock the screen. If I kill this program from the text
console, the window disappears but it is replaced by a black rectangle,
which covers the lock screen so that I still cannot unlock the screen.
In these cases, it seems that the only thing I can do is to kill Xorg
and re-login or to restart the computer (from the text console).
I sometimes put the computer into or take it out of a docking station
with an external monitor while the computer is suspended but the problem
also occurs (perhaps a little less often) if the computer is not put
into or taken out of the docking station while suspended.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
