Hi!
Ctl+Alt+l does not work
I also tried: gnome-screensaver-command -l
Any thought?
Have you got both gnome-shell and budgie installed?
Have you got rhe package gnome-shell-common installed?
Did you install budgie manually on a ubuntu desktop install or from the ubuntu budgie iso
What screensaver processes are running?
ps -ef | grep -i screensaver
Have you got the file /usr/bin/gjs
I have GNOME Shell 42.5
gnome-shell-common is not installed
Budgie was install from the ubuntu budgie iso
ps -ef | grep -i screensaver
/usr/libexec/gsd-screensaver-proxy
gnome-screensaver
grep --color=auto -i screensaver
yes I have /usr/bin/gjs
Are you using gdm or lightdm for your login manager?
I’m using gdm for your login manager
Ok your issue is the same as a few other threads here.
Basically GNOME Shell uses a component called gjs that is autostarted on login. This steals the DBUS interface gnome-screensaver requires and this then fails to start.
If you have to to use both budgie and gnome-shell you will have to accept this gnome-shell limitation on budgie with regards to the screenlock not working.
If you no longer use gnome-shell - simply uninstalling gnome-shell-common will uninstall gnome-shell.
You will also need to switch from GDM to lightdm. Ubuntu Budgie uses slick-greeter
I uninstalled gnome-shell-common and it still not working…
I don’t know if it helps but the automatic screen lock is blocked in the budgie control center. I can’t activate it.
So do check if you have set fractional scaling - if you are you cannot enable the lock screen.
If you are just using the standard 100%/200% etc scaing then double check that this setting hasn’t accidently been set
Yes that was the issue. Thank you so much!
