R3.2: suspended laptop, cannot login

[Eric Duncan]

New install, system went into suspend. Upon resume:

- I cannot login / there is no login box.
- Window days that says XScreenSaver 5.35, dom0, "Authentication Failed!" <- I haven't done anything to authenticate.
- Username: "user" (my username), but there is no Password box.

How do I type a password? I tried typing just into the black void, but it just flashes the screen and constantly re-displays that XScreenSaver window.

More info...

I just installed Qubes OS R3.2 and can't wait to get my Arch and Debian testing stuff running next to each other along with BlackArch and Whonix. Y'all just combined my 4 laptops into one! :)

I literally just logged in. I closed the laptop screen, which put the laptop into suspend, to move to a new room where I can focus on my newfound glory.

Except, when I open the screen I am showing a black screen with XScreenSaver and my username telling me "Authentication Failed!" Except, I haven't tried to log in yet.

If it matters:

- Installed to USB3 stick
- Current booted up on Asus G750JW

How do I get back into Qubes OS?

For the record, I still don't know what happened with this install. It was from a USB stick, without verification. Perhaps it was a corrupted install (3rd install, btw from the same USB stick).

Recently I switched to a USB3 stick, and made sure to 'verify' before installing.

This time the password prompt comes up after the blank screen. So it is all fine now.

I'll chalk it up to a bad installation.
