18.04 lock screen stopped working - screen freezes
3
When I try to lock the screen it just freezes. It is not possible to log on again. It used to work perfectly and suddenly it does not. However, I am not aware of any recent updates or similar.
I would try to reinstall the component that is responsible for locking the screen. Which one would that be?

Seems like I have the same problem. Ctrl-Alt-F1 helps temporarily, as it allows me to log in back. But I'd like a proper fix. Also applications dock (on the left) breaks at the same time. Unfortunately, I haven't noticed which particular update brought this behavior, but it was something from last month. And I have it on two different machines, both ubuntu 18.04.

You can track the bug here. Dash to Dock Gnome extension is causing it.
Upgrading packages helped for me.
Also known temporary workarounds:
Ctrl+Alt+F1 after locking to repaint screen.
Win+L twice to hide screen content (the dock will still be visible, though)- after logging back Alt+F2, type
r, enter. To resetGnomeand fix broken dock.

It seems more likely to be correct but not a proper answer and seems as comment. Please provide a detail answer with describing which package to upgrade and how to otherwise it will be deleted.

The bug was indash-to-dock. I don't know which package contains it, probablygnome-software. Just update all packages. Deleting the only answer is surely useful thing to do, go on.
