This message indicates that the screen lock has been disabled: https://sources.debian.org/src/gnome- shell/3.36.6-1/js/ui/screenShield.js/?hl=595#L595 I'm guessing that the setting may be named 'disable-lock-screen' in the 'org.gnome.desktop.lockdown' schema: https://sources.debian.org/src/gnome- shell/3.36.6-1/js/ui/screenShield.js/?hl=24#L24 try this to see the current value of the setting: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen try this to change it: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false # or true, as needed I hope this helps.
