What is it?
On notebooks, sometimes the screen gets blank and the system unresponsive after closing and opening the lid(screen).
Why happens?
It's a bug on lightlocker(the screen locker), I still don't know exactly where and I'm not super excited to search for it.
How to fix it?
Uninstall lightlocker and install other screen locker. Examples:
xscreensaver(awfully ugly but good)
i3lock(really simple but A E S T H E T I C S with some teaks)
Spread the word.

suspend on lid close is the first thing i turn off on every OS i run.

Gnome dev removed this option, kek.
This is not suspend, simply closing the lid causes the bug.

It will work if you close it again and open it again. Happens on my T61 using Xubuntu, but my T420s is immune to it.

That didn't work for me.
Do you use compton on your 4:20? I suspect there might be a relation.
