Fedora 15 - unable to lock screen

cymbaline42 · #1 8th August 2011, 07:09 PM

Hello All,

I'm using Fedora 15 with Gnome 3 on my laptop. I don't restart the system unless there's an update that requires me to, preferring to use the Suspend feature instead. However, I noticed that after an uptime of a few days, the screen doesn't lock anymore. Neither the shortcut 'Ctrl+Alt+L', nor the terminal command 'gnome-screensaver-command --lock' seem to work. I'm sure restarting the system will enable me to lock again, but I don't think I should restart just to get this feature back.

Does anyone know why this happens? Is there some other way to lock the screen?

Very strange indeed. Let's see...i will keep suspending my laptop (F15 KDE) for a few days, it's been almost a day anyways

At least we will be able to narrow it down to DE, otherwise would be interesting to dig deeper.
Unless you will find cure, i'll be posting here in two days.
Bye
