Ok same thing has happened twice more and I was playing around in console to try and figure out how to "unlock" the screen so everything would work again and I suceeded finally!
Here's all you need to do, switch to a console, login under the user logged in and type the following 3 commands: export DISPLAY=:0.0 xscreensaver-command -restart xscreensaver-command -lock Then I hit ctrl+f7, the screen was locked and I simply logged in and everything was working. While this is deff annoying at least it isn't a complete lockup and can be recovered from. -- Screen goes blank and computer becomes unresponsive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
