I started with lock not working at all and partially resolved my issues by creating my own .service file (attached) in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.ScreenSaver.service
Before: * Ctrl-Alt-L did not lock * "dbus-send --print-reply --reply-timeout=100 --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver / org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock" terminated with the error: "Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.ScreenSaver was not provided by any .service files" * session-menu -> Lock Screen did not work After: * Ctrl-Alt-L works * the dbus command works but also generates the following error: "Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." * session-menu -> Lock Screen still does not work There is still another issue -- when I go to unlock by striking a key or moving the mouse, the screensaver freezes but the unlock dialog does not appear. Blindly typing my password successfully unlocks the screen. ** Attachment added: "org.gnome.ScreenSaver.service" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38596652/org.gnome.ScreenSaver.service -- lock screen doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
