I would like to bypass the password prompt after resuming from suspend or hibernate in Ubuntu 11.10. I tried:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'true'

But doing so I couldn't lock the screen manually any more by hitting Ctrl+Alt+L. It also removed the "Lock Screen" menu item on the power button menu that I get when I click on the top right of the screen. I would like to keep these two features while just removing the lock screen when the system resumes. Any ideas?

  • It's a basic feature of gnome. It is not possible to change it now. Lock-screen disable only ensure that when your LED goes black (after some idle time) it will not lock the session.

  • Doing that command lets me avoid lock during hibernation and preserves my ability to lock the screen in MATE 17.04

In 12.04 the option to turn off the screen lock does not remove the option to lock the screen from the power/cog button.

  1. Click the power/cog button in upper right
  2. Go to system settings
  3. Click on Brightness and Lock
  4. Slide the slider for Lock to off

All done!
