Lock screen on GNOME 3 [solved]

Hello,
Since a few days, I'm not able to lock my screen (ctrl+l, menu > lock-screen, after suspend).
Any idea ?
Thank you

Yes, it doesn't work.
Screen lock only works when you suspend through GNOME's status menu. If you suspend or hibernate using the power button, your screen is not locked after resume. The problem is a configuration failure in dconf.
For me it is never locked.
Except lock-use-screensaver, all the configurations lock-* are at true. Is it correct ?

  • Lock screen in gnome 3.2

    Before the upgrade the upgrade to gnome 3.2 the following feature was working ok: whenever the laptop lid is closed the system suspends to RAM, whenever the laptop lid is opened up, the system resumes and the screen is locked. The screen lock feature was only enabled after
    gsettings set org.gnome.power-manager lock-use-screensaver 'false'
    (as per wiki instructions)
    After the upgrade to gnome 3.2, the lock screen feature is not available anymore. I have checked the keys available in  org.gnome.power-manager and lock-use-screensaver does no appear anymore. As a matter of fact, lock-use-screensaver does not appear anywhere. This means that either something has gone wrong with my update, or this feature has been removed in the new gnome version. Anyone else observes the same?

    There is a switch in >System Settings > Screen
    Is that not sufficient?

  • Can't Lock Screen in Gnome

    I've installed xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver but I still can't lock the screen in Gnome.  There's a keyboard binding of CTRL+ALT+L to lock the screen and also a menu entry under System but neither of them work, they don't throw an error message or anything.  lock_enabled is enabled in gconf-editor as well.  Any ideas?

    Never mind, restarting the X server did the trick.

  • [SOLVED]Lock screen in Gnome freezes X

    Hi, everyone. When the screen locks on my laptop it freezes the entire X. It tries to dim the screen before the lock and in the middle of the process it freezes. The desktop stays "half visible". The mouse works, but Gnome doesn't react to anything. I need to enter the init 3 level and go back to 5. This is really annoying since it makes it impossible to work normally and I have to constantly think about not locking the screen.
    This is my VGA controller according to lspci:
    VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    I tried to check for errors in .xssession-errors but it is impossible to find anything of importance there since it's full of davmail errors etc.
    I've searched the forums but only found some issues regarding old kernel versions and I'm on the latest (3.4.4-2).
    Any ideas?

    I'm experiencing the same issues, on a desktop, since this morning.
    I have an NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 440] (rev a1)  (as stated by lspci), and I have all the new updates for nouveau, X, and libdrm. I had my PC up for a long time and had to reboot, so I'm not sure which kernel I was running before I started having this issue, but I'm on 3.4.4-2-ARCH now. I suspect it was from the update from 3.3.8 to 3.4.4.
    Is rolling the kernel back a good idea? Thanks for any help.
    I'm not sure if kernel downgrade would help you since we still haven't identified the problem (we don't know if it's kernel related). But you could try and get back to us with the results...

  • [SOLVED] gnome-screensaver bug? unintended lock screen behaviour

    Everytime I close my laptop lid, the screen locks. I am fine with this EXCEPT when I am using two screens. I watch movies with my laptop and I like to close the lid because it blocks my reciever from getting the signal from my remote to change the volume. With gnome 3.4, I have not been able to do this unless I disable lock screen completely.

    As you can see in the middle of this code block that closing the lid is supposed to do nothing but that is not the case. What I want is for the screen to lock when I close my laptop lid only if there is one screen or not at all. I could disable the lock screen completely through gsettings but that is not what I want either. Any help would be much appreciated and no I do not want to use xscreensaver

    bump. any ideas. has this bug already been reported?
    Edit: Found a way to fix this. Go into brightness and screen, then change lock off when screen turns blank. So basically, changing laptop lid close in gnome tweak tool or in gsettings to nothing doesn't matter since in the brightness and lock, the setting is to lock screen whenever it is turned off and obviously the screen is turned off since closing the lid does on just about every laptop. Marking as solved.

  • [SOLVED] KDE Plasma 5 | Lock Screen Issues

    Everytime my computer locks - whether it be manually or automaticly, I get this lock menu with 3 options. The first option has my username and my avatar, which prompts me for my password. Everytime I type in the correct password, the screen turns black and then reloads the lock screen. Which makes it impossible for me to log back into my session leaving me unable to leave my computer on ever. I can create a new Session from the same menu but when ever I do create a new Session after being locked out, not a single app will launch. And I know I am putting in the correct password because when I purposly put in an incorrect password; the screen doesn't turn black, it just gives me a diffrent prompt. Another issue I am facing with KDE at the moment is about 80% of the time when I shut down my computer, I get a crash report from most of the applications running, for expamle kwin. I'm only saying this incase it is relevant, it is annoying but at least it doesn't prevent me from getting work done. Also, I used KDE's suggested SDDM for login.

    Oh, that really sucks, I like to use Arch for gaming on Linux so i dont think either of those sound preferable, but I think I will just try to downgrade nvidia then. Gnome atcually has worse issues with the latest nvidia drivers which sucks as well. Thank you for finding this.

  • GNOME 3.2.1 login promt from the lock screen is ugly.

    The lock screen doesn't look nice... have i miss configured something?
    What i mean is that i don't get something like the nice login screen from GDM ... but i get a password promt similar to the old style GDM....
    Any ideas? is that the expected behaviour?
    Thanks!

    It's the expected behaviour, but there is an upstream task to change this: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree/ … ScreenLock

  • [Solved] Change default leaf background when unlocking screen in Gnome

    This is kinda silly, but how do I change the default desktop background when unlocking screen in gnome?, its always that annoying green leaf background, how can I make it my wallpaper instead?
    Last edited by daf666 (2009-06-13 12:35:29)

    See the Gnome_Tips wiki article which contains the answer to this and other questions
    Change the Default Background Image
    The default background is that zoomed in picture of a green leaf. It appears for newly created users, but more importantly, this is the image shown when the screen is locked. As of 25-Apr-2009, you can find this image here
    /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome/background-default.jpg
    To change it, simply copy your favorite image to this locate (as root) and rename it.

  • (SOLVED) Lock screen suddenly doesn't work as expected

    It doesn't matter which lock screen (PIN, swipe, etc.) I choose, after the first unlock (after a reboot or change of lock screen), the phone no longer locks. Using the power button to lock doesn't work and I have the phone set to lock right away on sleep. It was working fine a few hours ago and there wasn't anything new I did to the phone.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!

    Hello, I feel pretty dumb. I must've hit the "Disable lock screen" option in the BatteryBot Pro app by accident...I forgot it even had that option.
    If anyone's curious how I solved this, I inspected system messages using OS Monitor while reproducing the problem (ie, flipping through lock screen options and turning off/on the screen) and kept seeing the app's name coming up as well as a few others. I'm not sure why it started disabling the lock screen today though; I'm pretty sure I didn't touch the app in the last couple days.
    Anyway, sorry for any inconvenience.

  • GNOME lock screen lag

    Hiya.
    In the GNOME lock screen, I get a tiny lag (~1 second) while rolling the lock wallpaper up (not sure how you call it). It goes nice & smooth, and then, just before it's about to disappear, it lags for a moment, so I see about a quarter of it. Then it unlags and I can start typing.
    Has anybody experienced this too, or is it just my one-core saying GNOME's too heavy for it?

    I ran Gnome on a single core with a crappy 258MB graphics card and it felt sluggish. It's resource intensive if you compare it to other DEs. With 4 cores and an SSD, it's much smoother :-)

  • The screen could not rotate automatically while without lock it, how to solve this problem?

    The screen could not rotate automatically while without lock it, how to solve this problem?

    If there isn't a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator then try a soft-reset and see if it rotates after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Gnome 2.24 lock screen

    Is there a way to change the background image for gnome-screensaver lock screen?

    Just change /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome/background-default.jpg to anything else, say a black bg.
    Good luck!

  • After GDM lock screen, log into a different session

    I think the following problem is caused by GDM, as it does not occur when using LightDM. Unfortunately I have found nothing interesting in log-files or on the internet, so I post it here, hoping someone can give a direction to solve it.
    After running Gnome3(.16.2) for a while I get a lock-screen and a login screen. This is not the same lock screen as I have told Gnome to use whenever I would like to have the computer locked. The screen resolution is the same as that of the 'normal' login screen at boot, but not the same as the resolution I use on the desktop.
    Logging in results in a new session on CTRL-ALT F4, leaving my original session on CTRL-ALT F2 (??), but without the mouse-cursor.
    I have the lock-screen disabled, and running LightDM it does not show unless I explicitly tell it to.
    The only desktop programs I use are MonoDevelop, Spyder3 and Firefox. I run Arch in a VMware-Fusion Guest for development purposes. I installed Open-vm-tools.
    Running LightDM I am a happy user, but it nags me GDM cocks-up. Anyone a clue what I could research?
    Kind regards,
    Martin

    Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.
    Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and its the button far right; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

  • Yoga 8 and 10 - KitKat 4.4.2 - Lock Screen Display

    After upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, some customers report the lock screen on their Yoga 8 or 10 tablets (B6000-F/H or B8000-F/H) does not display the application currently running when it is tapped to unlock. This is noticable when music is being played and the cover art does not show on the lock screen.
    Please note that Lenovo has escalated internally on this issue. I was personally able to reproduce these reports.
    These reports originated from this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Android-based-Tablets/KitKat-roll-out-for-Yoga-Tablets-starting-Jun...
    My personal thanks to the forums members who provided feedback to help identify post-upgrade symptoms.
