Screen goes black after locking Budgie and makes it impossible to unlock the system #1710

Operating System: Solus 3.9999 Budgie version: Budgie 10.5

The issue encountered

When locking the screen using either Super+L or the "Lock" entry of the shutdown applet the screen shuts down as expected. When I move the mouse/clic/use the keyboard the screen powers on with a black screen and about half a second later the cursor appears and reacts as expected. After waiting for more than a minute still the screen is dark with only the mouse cursor.

To access the actual unlock menu I have to either reboot Solus or switch to a TTY using CTRL+ALT+F6 (for instance) and use pkill startx. If I go back to tty7 the unlock menu appears, I can unlock my system and budgie works as expected

After some more testing: if I type my password and press Enter the screen is still black but if I kill startx Budgie is now unlocked.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Lock the screen with Super+L or the budgie applet

I have the same issue.

After some amount of idling, screen turns off as expected. When I move the cursor, screen comes on but no cursor. It turns off again in a few seconds. Moving the cursor brings it up every time, however cursor itself never appears. Password prompt appears after 30-60 seconds. After that, back to normal.

I think I found a fix for my computer, maybe try it ? Type xset -dpms in a terminal and see if it changed something !
