Public bug reported: Lockscreen doesn't turn off the screen (saw it via Bug # 1292041 now closed) Ctrl=Alt+L or Super+L shortcut works and blanks the screen requiring me to type my password again to activate session.
However my System-Settings -> Brightness & Lock is set to: Turn screen off when inactive for: 30 minutes Lock: OFF Lock screen after: Screen turns off (is grayed out) Require my password when waking from suspend (unchecked and grayed out) I have dual monitors. Both are Samsung and this feature is highly intermittent, meaning sometimes it works and often it doesn't. For example it hasn't worked for days but I changed the System-Settings from 30-minutes to 1-min. and it started working without a reboot. Is it possible that a kernel update changes some value that alters the setting? Then when I change the time in the window it repopulates a value? I am on Ubuntu 16.04.1 but I have seen this issue for years now. ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612010 Title: Lockscreen doesn't turn off the screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1612010/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
