Please run this command and tell us what you get: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen
Also your lock delay is set to 1800 (30 minutes?) so please try: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 0 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true and then log out and in again to be sure. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880785 Title: Cannot enable 'Lock screen on suspend' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1880785/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
