This is still an issue. Because of bug #1295267 I can't set the screen to turn off automatically. So I turned off screen blanking and left lock on. I was a little bit surprised that screen lock didn't engage after an idle period.
Also, I am trying to understand why screen blank + lock would work, but only a screen lock wouldn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247683 Title: Gnome-screensaver does not lock if "turn screen off" is disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1247683/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
