Currently, my Ubuntu locks the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity and I'm perfectly fine with this.
However, I'd prefer the screen doesn't power off after Ubuntu locks itself, so that I'm able to watch the wallpaper slideshow.
The approach used here and here doesn't seem to do the trick - screen locking seems tied to screen powering off. if I turn off the Blank screen
under Power
, then this also turns off the locking.
So, how is it possible to keep the screen locking after five minutes, but still showing the lock screen with the wallpaper on it?
I prefer not installing additional apps, just using built-in settings.
#lockDialogGroup
with custom CSS in my custom gnome-shell theme (gnome-shell.css
&gdm3.css
) also do not take effect. For a plain bitmap image, that used to be customizable. Just saying.
