Thanks for your feedback. @Human: this shows that the issue is with gnome-screensaver not running: can you investigate why? @Biji: can you confirm that the option is indeed present in the session menu, but that only the action is not performed? In this case, you could use the test that Human just proposed to see whether gnome-screensaver is running or not.

I agree that the option should be available to those who still have autologin enabled. +1. It should be disabled when the password is locked, not when autologin is enabled. Autologin and password locking are different concepts, and I don't see a reason to disable screen locking when having autologin.

I suggest that if someone sets themselves up to log in automatically, the Lock Screen command is insensitive by default. Then, if it is possible to get a User Interface Freeze exception for this, I suggest that in the Users and Groups settings, the bottom of the Password section for your user account should have a checkbox, Allow locking the screen (requires password to unlock). If you are using automatic login, the checkbox should be unchecked by default, otherwise it should be checked by default. If it is checked, the Lock Screen item should be sensitive.

Why does this have to be done. My system runs 24/7, so often i lock the screen and leave. But since i have selected auto-login , this option is not available.

If a stranger or someone is walking and having access to my system , then i have more serious concerns than my system being hacked! Well... people i am surrounded by maintain their boundaries and dont use the system when its locked or use a different session! Pls dont do this on the basis of security. Ted gould said this was done because the netbook users forget the password and lock screen and get locked out! If it is the issue that user are forgetting the password , a solution could be: By default , if the user selects auto-login during install, greyout the option in the menu [or do not display the option , the menu is getting huge as is!] Now present the option to display the lock-screen in the System Administration Login screen. [/] show lock screen option in the indicator session. This would be a better solution. As this is the place where the user selects the auto-login feature. Not all users have nosy people around them nor does everyone forget their password. Why does the solution to a problem always have to mean the removal of the option! -- lock screen doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
