I wonder if the following function is possible.

When i close the lid, my laptop (hp elitebook 2540p) hibernates as expected. when i open the lid and push the powerbutton it boots to Ubuntu (18.04). but it flashes the current session briefly (it shows my current work on my desktop for 1sec) before a login dialog shows. Because i work with privacy sensitive information this is not welcome.

My wish is that when i get the laptop out of hibernation, when the screen comes back on, it brings me to the login screen and doesn't show the desktop briefly. BUT i don't want the current session to end.

My search on askubuntu found me

Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 - last screen flashes when waking up and Computer logout after closing the lid.

Both offer no solution

thanks in advance

EDIT: it's a known bug in launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1532508

somebody knows a workaround?

Workaround: for me using Wayland as suggested instead of Xorg resolves the issue.

On the login screen, you should be able to select "Ubuntu on Wayland" by clicking on the settings icon, next to the login button.
