After I lock my laptop and then not touch it for an hr or 2, I don't get the login prompt back whatever I try to do after coming back (move mouse, type keys). I have to manually shutdown the system by pressing the poweroff button of my laptop.
I am using ACER Aspire 4520.
I had something like this happen to me once so far. I was able to reset the desktop by doing a CTRL+ALT+Backspace. It kills your desktop session, but is much faster and safer than a hard reset.
@meltingrobot the invisible trick did not work for me. are all F16 users facing this problem or is it due to some error during installation? any other suggestions to get round the problem besides the ones already mentioned? thanks!
I can get to the terminal use CTRL-ALT-F2, but when I log in it just returns me to the login prompt.
You can also do something like this :
The dialog should now appear!
