When my screen locks, either via timeout or if I hit meta-L, sometimes the normal login screen appears (background image and password input) but most of the time I just get a totally blank screen. There’s a mouse cursor, and it even changes to a text cursor if I roll over the area where the login form should be. And I can type my password and get in. Also if I simply switch to a different TTY (ctrl-alt-F4) and back (ctrl-alt-F2) the proper screen suddenly appears. But then it’s back to the same problem on the next lock.
Again, it doesn’t always happen, but this is as close as I’ve come to figuring out a pattern:
- After waking from a long sleep period, the login screen is fine
- If I meta-L to lock, it works fine the first time
- If I meta-L to lock a second time (and every? attempt after that) I get the blank screen
- If the session auto-locks but does not sleep, I think I usually get the blank screen?
This is a Lenovo laptop with no external monitor or any other peripherals. Latest LTS kernel and pamac says I’m up to date. inxi output below.
I found an open thread with the same issue here but when I added my two cents I was reprimanded for “hijacking” it:
