    Login screen freezed after resume

    Hello,

    today I came into strange problem. Yesterday, as always, I suspended my Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity) laptop for night. Today as I open it up it shows login screen (lightdm) but it is impossible to write password in. I see password field but it is not editable (the coursor does not blink; I do not see dots as I type). I am able to move the mouse coursor. Also, I am able to login into terminal by CTRL+ALT+F1. As I run the "top" command I see that my (not root) process "init" uses 100% CPU.

    It would not be such a big issue since I can restart lightdm. However, the main problem is I have opened several Chrome Incognito windows with important tabs in it. I would like to somehow get access to these windows and save open tabs. Is it possible?

    I see two solutions:

    1. Somehow unfreeze login screen to normally login.
    2. Forget about login and somehow save Chrome Incognito sessions from the terminal.

    Unfortunately I do not know how to do this. I would be very gratefull for any help.
