Screen lock completely locks me out and kills desktop session

li flag

On Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop (Lenovo Yoga 710-14IKB with latest firmware), when I lock the screen, the machine becomes completely unresponsive to any input except to closing and reopening the lid to trigger a sleep-wake cycle.

After the sleep-wake cycle, I find myself at the same login screen as at startup. When I log in, I find that I am in a new desktop session, and that all my running apps have closed.

I also find that if I switch user, I lose the first user's desktop session in the same way.

If I leave the machine running with automatic screen blanking enabled, but automatic screen locking disabled, my desktop session does not get terminated. My previous desktop session was running for at least 2 or 3 weeks until I locked the screen this morning.

This behaviour only started not too many weeks ago. Before that, screen lock behaved normally. However, this may not be the first time that I have had this problem. I previously posted this help request about the machine becoming unresponsive after screen lock. That time round, the problem seemed to resolve itself after I disabled and re-enabled automatic screen lock, but that trick doesn't seem to work anymore.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
