I'm changing the status to "Fix Released", based on current behavior. (This is 18.04 with all available current updates.) (I can no longer reproduce this problem, so somebody must have fixed it!)
I probably should have done this status change on 2019-01-10 along with the note I added then, but I didn't know I had the juice. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798615 Title: suspend does not lock in 18.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: To reproduce from the command-line (this is ubuntu 18.04): % gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend true % gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend true % systemctl suspend Now the monitors go black and report "no signal" (good), and it will stay that way for hours (good) ... but if I tap "shift" key a few times, Ubuntu 18.04 comes back without asking my password. (I expected rather that the system would be locked, i.e. I should see a dialog box that would require a password before anything else!) Same thing if I suspend by using the upper-right-of-screen "power" icon (click-and-hold, then click on the suspend icon). Same thing if I let 20 minutes go by. (A msg comes up ~~ "system will suspend soon...", and it does suspend, but doesn't lock). I have left the ubuntu-lock-on-suspend setting at "true" through several re-boots, but it still doesn't take effect. I get the same behavior whether ubuntu-lock-on-suspend is set to "true" or "false".

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic % uname -a Linux ucbvax 4.15.0-36-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 16:19:09 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I just upgraded from 16.04 a couple of weeks ago. I think (90%) it was locking in 16.04, but now not locking in 18.04. If I click on the upper-right-of-screen padlock icon, then the system does lock (password required). While it's locked in that way, I can click on the upper-right-of- screen "suspend" (from drop-down), and then my system is both suspended and locked. But the question is ... How can I make my system lock (automatically) every time a "suspend" happens? (Or even "every time kbd and mouse are idle for 15 minutes"?)
