I have experienced what this bug report describes since installing 12.04 with default settings. when I close the lid, and re-open the lid, I find I've been dropped from the network, and reconnects. I changed Power Setings to: suspend when inactive for: don't suspend // don't suspend when the lid is closed: do nothing // do nothing If I keep the lid closed for more than a second, it usualy results in a black screen, though some times a partial screen. Lid closed for a second or less will often return to the visual state. I've since tried entring my password at this "screen state" ... pretending its at the "unlock" screen but to no effect.
Just tested again -- closing lid momentarily, for less than one second... went to the "lock" screen upon opening screen, and when it returned me to main screen, vpnc was still connected to remote router, Remmina was still running (my primary application), but Compiz crashed (crashes once a week - I assume unrelated) There are other oddities I experience wth 12.04, so I'll reinstall to help ensure it wasn't me trying to make this do something the Unity devs don't want done - though it started as a fresh install. primary applications are vpnc and remmina - everything else is secondary -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001908 Title: Login screen doesn't always appear Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to 12.04 upon closing my laptop lid it locks the system and prompts for login/password upon reopening the lid. Even if the option is set not to do so, however, this is detailed in bug #995840. In addition to this the login screen doesn't always appear. Sometimes it is just a blank screen of my desktop with no way to input or do anything through the GUI. This never happens during the initial login from a fresh boot, and I haven't tested it comming back from suspend or hibernate.
