Bug Description
I have reported this before, but it appears to have been merged with another bug. Will attach a video to establish whether these are the same bug. Only happens on my nvidia computer. ati seems ok. This first happened when I installed Precise. Did not affect
previous releases of ubuntu.
As a workaround, I have disabled screen blanking on this computer. i.e. powersave for screen is never activated.
When I lock the screen, I am unable to unlock it again.
The wallpaper appears for a second when I move the mouse, but disappears again.
The video below illustrates the problem - I started the video from bootup to show that it happens every time. The problem is shown in the last 10-20 seconds of the clip.
