I observe exactly the described issue with the exact same settings in dconf, but with gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5ubuntu11.1.
Is there a possible regression that made the issue re-occur? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1223070 Title: Lid close doesn't lock screen if lid-close-action not set to suspend Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Copying from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/707769 org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'nothing' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'nothing' org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true With these settings if I close the lid the screen does not lock.
