I would like to have my screen fully powered at all times, but it goes to standby once I lock my PC.

Open your System Settings. We need to make changes to Power and Brightness & Lock settings.
Power Settings
Change the value of Suspend when inactive for to Don't suspend.
Brightness & Lock Settings
Change the value of Turn screen off when inactive for to Never.
This should help to achieve your desired result.

2Thanks. For my particular issue (my speakers which were powered by the monitor would turn off when the screen gets locked) I just had to disable a setting of the display itself. Still, this answers the question I asked. Sep 25, 2013 at 13:02
I had to install additional screensaver program XScreenSaver and use it instead of default one because accepted answer had no effect for me on Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.10.
Install XScreenSaver:
sudo apt install xscreensaverAdd this command to Startup Applications:
xscreensaver -nosplashDisable default Super+L shortcut
Install CompizConfig Settings Manager
sudo apt install compizconfig-settings-managerLaunch it and click "Ubuntu Unity Plugin"
Click the button next to "Key to lock the screen."
Disable
Add this command to enable Super+L shortcut for XScreenSaver in System Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts → Custom Shortcuts:
xscreensaver-command -lock

How can I add
Super(=Windows button/CMD) +Las a custom shortcut if pressing that makes me logout directly :) when I want to set the shortcut? /// found out myself. Go to Settings --> Keyboard Shortcuts --> roughly in the middle, you find the topicSystem, at the 3rd line, there isLog outwithSuper+LShortcut. Click on it and give it something you do not need likeSuper+;. Then go down toCustom Shortcutsand addSuper+Lfor the custom logout command. Feb 3, 2022 at 9:12
