Bug Description
Background:
I am running a fully updated 16.04.1 installation of Ubuntu using open source nVidia drivers. When I press the power button on my PC to wake the computer from suspend, the login screen appears and freezes. The box around my username becomes somewhat opaque and no text box that would allow me to enter my password appears. I have tried this many times, and it always locks up in the same way.
Steps taken after issue occurs:
I have found, however, that the system is not completely locked up. I can use CTL + ALT + F2 to switch to TTY2. From there I can login and restart the computer without issue.
I also tried restarting lightdm via sudo service lightdm restart. When I tried this and switched back to the GUI, the login screen was loaded, and I could type my password. Once the login screen disappeared, one of my monitors (dual-monitor setup) switched to my user account's wallpaper, and then the system locked up. I had to perform a hard restart.
Workaround:
I have found that using the proprietary 361.42 drivers provides a work around for this issue. When using the proprietary drivers, the computer resumes from suspend without issue.
