Bug Description
This is new since Ubuntu 11.10 - if I start up the computer and then put it on Standby before logging in, when I resume, I get a prompt from Light Display Manager (or something like that) asking me for a password (no username). I don't know what password to enter, and I can't find any other way to get around this.
In the end, to workaround this problem, I press CTRL + ALT + F1 to switch to tty1, then I login from there using my normal username and password and do ps -A | grep ldm to find the pid of ldm-greeter, then I do sudo kill <pid> and that automatically resets the login screen back to normal.
Surely after resuming from Standby the normal login screen should show without having to do that.
