Public bug reported:
When locking the screen or whenever the screensaver starts
automatically, I cannot log in again, but my system completely freezes
and I have to restart the computer. In most cases I was able to do the
restart by pressing Alt-REISUB, in some cases however I had to do a hard
reset. This is a new bug in zesty (Ubuntu 17.04). In the previous
version everything worked fine. I tested both the upgrade and a fresh
new installation on the same computer. Package is gnome-screensaver
version 3.6.1-7ubuntu5.
I attach an excerpt from my syslog. Hope this might help to find the
bug.
I installed zesty on another computer (laptop) as well and there the bug
did not appear. So I assume it has something to do with the installed
graphics card or graphics driver. Installed graphics card in this case
is: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630] (rev a1).
