After resume, the screen is not redrawn until the password is typed in.

[Rob Frohne]

I'm using a Dell D830 with Nvidia graphics. It is like the lock screen doesn't get displayed. It is usually a solid black (sometimes light green), with the mouse cursor able to move, but nothing else. The lock screen works if invoked without suspending. I'm using the ambiance theme with unity.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . If possible, please test the latest kernel (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the others). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed by the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream-KERNEL-VERSION'. For example, if kernel version 3.1-rc9 fixed and issue, the tag would be: 'kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.1-rc9'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joseph,

I did try this kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1-oneiric/linux-image-3.1.0-030100-generic_3.1.0-030100.201110241006_i386.deb
but the problem was much worse, in that I got a black screen after the BIOS disappeared , which never went away, and I couldn't solve that by messing with the options in /etc/default/grub and update-grub and rebooting (signed in via ssh from another computer), so I finally removed the upstream kernel to be able to fill this note out. I don't know that this is the same bug I experienced with the upstream kernel, so I guess I'll need some tips to try if you want more information.

Thanks,

Rob

I changed my graphics driver from 173 to 173 with post release updates and the screen has jumbled graphics instead of the green or black screen,

[Rob Frohne (frohro)]

Okay, I changed my graphics driver to version current-updates (280.13-0ubuntu5) and now I see the lock screen when I resume. This version seems to be much newer than 173, which I had installed thinking it was the one to install because it was on top of the list, and looking in the settings, you can't tell what the version of the current driver is.

I think we can call this solved.

Thanks,

Rob
