Since upgrading to 12.10 I cannot get my screen to lock automatically. I am using GDM at home and LightDM at work and neither will lock automatically. However, when I issue CTRL + ALT + L on either system, the screen will lock as it should.

It is set to turn the display off after 5 minutes and lock screen when screen turns off. Require Password is set also. Display turns off after 5 minutes but no locking occurs.

I am using Unity with Compiz on both systems. Not sure what other things might be involved.

  • I have the exact same problem. I'm considering filing a bug... – Keidax Nov 13 '12 at 04:49
  • This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and [as such](http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/1317/what-to-do-with-questions-that-describe-known-bugs/) is off-topic, thanks!

  • The package you should file this bug for is `gnome-screensaver` – Jorge Castro Nov 21 '12 at 00:10
  • More specifically (as it's not easy to find by navigating): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver – Brandon Bertelsen Dec 15 '12 at 21:56
