No, unless you don't go back to previous gnome-screensaver version. BTW if you've set to lock the screen by default when screensaver starts, just running: gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.ScreenSaver --object-path / --method org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SetActive true Will turn off the screen and lock. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292041 Title: Lockscreen doesn't turn off the screen Status in Unity: Invalid Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The new Unity lock screen doesn't turn off the monitor screen. I can wait as long as 10 minutes after activating the lock screen and the monitor still doesn't trun off. Then when I unlock the screen and don't use mouse or keyboard monitor will turn off (it's about 5 seconds after unlocking).
