So all the sudden 16.04 removed the "lock" system menu (top right menu button); also "dimmed" from "Brightness & Lock" system settings. Computer no longer displays screen saver. When forced to turn off screen, no passowrd required to reactivate the session.

What gives? How to resolve other than reinstalling 16.04 64-bit?

TIA, John

Noticed a change on my 16.04 (64 bit) rig running Unity. Examined syslog and xorg.0.log and noted an almost continuous stream of errors being logged.

Sample log file output... For syslog:

For xorg.0.log:

[   105.579] (WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 6231 < target_msc 6232
[   105.595] (WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 6232 < target_msc 6233
[   105.787] (WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 6243 < target_msc 6244

Configuration:

Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz × 4
Graphics card: AMD Radeon (TM) RX 460 Graphics
Driver: amdgpu-pro-16.50-362463

I've uninstalled the amdgpu-pro driver successfully and reverted to the standard drivers (no or limited graphics acceleration) and syslog/xorg.0.log errors stopped. I installed the most recent AMDGPU-PRO-16.50-362463 drivers and the log errors returned.

Would like to see if there is anyone out there with a solution (apart switching graphics card architecture).
