  • Ubuntu 17.10 Screen lock not working and grey

    1 answer



My lock screen option from settings is gone, and neither Windows+L nor Ctrl+Alt+L are locking the screen - they are simply turning it off. When I move the mouse, no password is prompted for before resuming operation.



How can I restore the missing locking functionality?



Using Ubuntu 17.10.
