Comment 54 for bug 49521

Lenovo W530

Close screen, and the machine locks.

No amount of keystrokes can unlock the screen - ctrl/alt/f1 does nothing, neither does c/a/del, c/a/bkspc, reisub... nothing.

Oddly though - function key + spacebar will still cycle through the backlight on the keyboard.

I see that this bug set to expire in 1 day if no further action takes place... I have already wiped 14.04 off my home machine because of all the issues, and the laptop is next now more so than ever. I would never have bothered posting yet another bug report, but I saw another Lenove W530 in this thread, and I figured maybe somebody will be able to at get this issue fixed if it is hardware related... however, it was working just fine a month ago, so who knows what's causing it now.
