but it doesn't work... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871047 Title: Can no longer set screen to lock when lid closed Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Before, with Gnome 2, I've configured it for when I close the laptop lid it lock the screen demanding the password. It's because sometimes I go to any places publics or with my friends and I don't want to have the PC trolled when I leave it for a while. Now, with Ubuntu 11.10, the gnome-screensaver is deleted, so when I select the "blank" option at "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action" with dconf-editor, only it puts the screen black, but it doesn't block the screen because before the gnome- screensaver was the responsible of doing it and with Gnome 3 and Unity it dissapears. It's possible to add and "lock-screen" option that executes the lock screen command? Because I think that to close the screen is a better gesture to make sure that you've locked it more than remember always to do Ctrl+Alt+L. See also bug 888330, the equivalent for blanking the screen.
