I too have been affected by a probably different bug (no signal too monitor).
As a result, I changed from auto hybrid-sleep to auto hibernate. Dunno maybe
btrfs issue, but I'm using a swap partition.
So below is now after hibernate but used to be after sleep mode too:
Ok ok so I too have possibly been affected by this bug as well.
0. I however see the log screen where I use a slideshow of pictures as
background. These pictures are seen but in the middle password field or my
username don't show. Cursor however is active and in the middle where the pw
field is supposed to show, the arrow of the cursor changed to a pipe so I know
where to activate the not-shown pw field. So I left click there, type my pw and
hit enter. That way I know I have unlocked the session which however is still
visually covered with the lock screen. In the middle the cursor arrow does not
change to pipe now.
My workaround then is:
1./0b. Wait a few minutes, up to 6-7.
or which I mostly after 0.
2. Change into TTY3 and back. If I get the black screen with only cursor like
the OP:
2b. Change into TTY3 and log into it and look at htop, hit Q to quit it, look
at nvtop (not installed by default) and hit Q and then I switch back to
graphical interface from TTY3 (CTRL+ALT+F2). In either of the monitors shown in
TTY you see the lockscreen process or plasmashell above 80%. For me this
eventually changes after waiting a while. If I still get the black screen with
only cursor like the OP.
2c. Repeat 2b
Might be the switching to TTY and back triggers the graphics to be restarted
faster.
At least I get my session back and the info message in systray: Your graphics
had to be restarted due to a graphical issue (or a wording the like). And here
everything works again as expected, full GUI. (Apart from some screen tearing
when switching between Activities or in FF Yt videos, which is why I usually
log out and back in in these restored/unlocked sessions).
Everyone is welcome to translate my complicatedly described workaround into
fewer, better organized sentences :)
