Summary0007466: Resume from lock screen leaves my monitors blank and an extremely slow mouse cursor
Description

I have the latest version of Kali (as of 2nd December 2021) and everything is up-to-date. I also have an NVIDIA GPU if relevant.

Everything works exactly like it should except for when i lock the screen. The screen locks like it should but the problem arises after i have re-entered my login credentials as i am greeted with blank screens and only a mouse cursor that moves across my monitors very very very slowly.

Steps To Reproduce

Everytime i resume from locking the screen

Hello! In this case you should investigate what's wrong. Open a terminal, type "top", press Enter, and check if there's any process eating all the CPU, for example. You can also try to run "journalctl -f" and see what comes out, if there's an endless flow of error messages, please post it here, in case we can help. Also, do you run Kali in a VM or baremetal? Thanks!

Thanks for getting back in touch. I run kali on bare metal.
I have attached the journalctl -f txt file so you can take a look.

I started journalctl -f and then i locked my computer and about 10 minutes later i unlocked it and stopped journalctl.
This time my computer did the same thing with the blank screen and the slow moving cursor but it only lasted for about 30 seconds ish then i got into my desktop. But that was only because i left it locked for about 10 minutes. If i lock it for hours then i takes considerably longer the get to the desktop after locking the screen
