Public bug reported: Ctrl+Alt+L fails to lock the screen in the default setup of Ubuntu 14.10 + Gnome 3 (gnome shell).
All packages are up to date and I verified that Ctrl+Alt+L is indeed the shortcut to lock the screen. What helped was adding gnome-screensaver to the startup programs (was installed but wasn't started by default) as mentioned here: http://askubuntu.com/a/542391 ** Affects: lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389650 Title: Lock screen not working with Gnome 3 (gnome-shell) and Ubuntu 14.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1389650/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
