I believe the problem is that the user-specific .desktop file, ``~/.config/autostart/light-locker.desktop`` does not override the the system wide .desktop file ``/etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop``.
When the user changes the light-locker settings to disable light-locker, I believe what happens is that ``~/.config/autostart/light- locker.desktop`` is edited/created so the there is a blank ``Exec=`` line. That is, light-locker is not started. However, even if light-locker is disabled in the user-specific file, it is still started (with the default configuration) by the system-wide light-locker.desktop file. The workaround that worked for me was to rename ``/etc/xdg/autostart /light-locker.desktop`` to ``/etc/xdg/autostart/light- locker.desktop.bak``. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287255 Title: Disabling screen lock is not possible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1287255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
