Hi
I've noticed that a couple of days ago my screen has stopped locking,
i.e. before then the screen would blank I'd need to reenter my
password to resume using the machine but now it is just unlocked. In
the settings the screen is set to blank after 5 minutes and lock
immediately but I am never prompted for a password. Any ideas what
could be going on here?
Could there be another process blanking the screen that is bypassing
the screen lock?
Have you recently switched from using GDM to some other login manager? I believe that GDM
manages the Lock Screen on GNOME sessions.
