I don't think turning off the monitor will necessarily be a viable
workaround. It may in fact trigger this bug also.
** Description changed:
+ WORKAROUNDS:
+
+ Try each of these, individually and together:
+
+ 1. Before leaving/locking the PC run ccsm, and in the OpenGL section
+ disable "Sync To VBlank".
+
+ 2. Before leaving/locking the PC, minimize all active windows.
+
+ 3. Install fglrx driver from AMD/ATI.
+
+
+ ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
There are two issues.
Compiz has a memory leak so it expands to take up all memory plus swap
(12 + 4 gig)
Unity shows a blank screen and does not come up with a login prompt,
only the mouse pointer is displayed.
ctl+alt F1 works so you can get into a console and create the attached
bug report. This was after killing vviewer and before restarting
lightdm
I was running KVM and vviewer as well and killed vviewer but still did not
get get login screen
Killed compiz which freed the memory still did not get login screen
had to restart lightdm to get back into Unity and restart everything.
