After a 15.04 system has been running for a long time (move than 2-3 days), and the system has locked the screen automatically during inactivity, attempting to unlock the screen will result in an "invalid password" message at the lock screen, despite using the correct password.
The only fix I've found is to jump to a TTY, log in there (which works), and do a "sudo service lightdm restart".
I've made no changes to my PAM configuration, nor do I have any packages installed which modify it.
Only other thing I've noticed is that normally, my screens go to sleep after the display is locked. Every time this problem presents itself, the displays have awoken at some point overnight.
No obvious errors in auth.log, xorg.log, or lightdm.log,
