I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 but since some weeks I'm stuck with the old 13.10 lockscreen design for some reason. I already tried compizconfig-settings-manager but it doesn't offer me any option for changing the lockscreen design and even resetting Compiz and Unity with 

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

didn't help.

Are there any other ways to get the new lockscreen back?

  • I suggest deleting .-files relating to the session (but not all of them, e.g. .mozilla, .thunderbird and so on!)

  • I tried deleting everything related to compiz or unity but it didn't help. In the end I just created a new user, copied my stuff over to it and deleted to old one. Now I have the fancy lockscreen back.

I had the same issue because of the on-screen keyboard. After I disabled it, the fancy lockscreen got re-enabled

    Just tested disabling Onboard after I got the old lockscreen and it worked. The problem is that I have installed Ubuntu on a tablet where Onboard is absolutely necessary.

  • Ubuntu 16.04 - disabling on board keyboard fixes it also. I've been suffering from this few weeks until figured this out! Thanks
