Lock screen is not working anymore

Asked by rami

Hello folks,

I have set my system to suspend after 10 min if I'm inactive for 10 min:

System settings > Power > Suspend when inactive for (10 min) > on Battery power & When plugged in

I have also choosen to lock the screen after 10 min below the screen settings.

System settings > Screen > Lock (ON) > Lock screen after (10 min)

It has always been working fine. But lately for some reason it doesn't lock me out after the expected 10 minutes.

What to do? Any ideas?

Best regards
R.E.

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Also the make and model of the system if it has one.

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Ofcourse, here you go:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10
Codename: oneiric
Linux rami 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:34:47 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Can you use it?

Best regards
R.E.

Do you have the latest BIOS?

Yes, I have installed the latest version before I have installed Ubuntu around 1 month ago.

I have reinstalled my Ubuntu, and it works fine again.

Thanks for your help Andrew :-)
