Issue with inactivity on mirrored screen #10

Closed enrico223 closed 3 years ago

enrico223 commented 3 years ago

I'm on Kubuntu 20.04 LTS. I use my laptop connected to an external monitor via HDMI (with dongle type-c to HDMI).

After the laptop goes to sleep because of inactivity and I "wake it up", suddenly there is a black screen with just the KDE screen where I have to put the password. It takes a long time before I can manage to write the password because the system seems to not get input nor from the track-pad, nor from the keyboard, neither from a cabled mouse.

Then, when I manage to log in, basic i3 "starting screen", even though I have a wallpaper and bumblebee-status, plus the keyboard doesn't work, just the trackpad and mouse. I litteraly cannot do anything from there.

Do you have any ideas on how to solve this?

it was my mistake, should not have done the switch user at the beginning, when the laptop "re-wakes".
