I get option to SUSPEND/HIBERNATE or reboot/shutdown. Isn't there something similar to locking as in windows.

I don't want to log out each time I want a break(think bathroom, drink).

I would expect that after I have LOCKED the workstation, I would have to log back in.

Press CtrlAltL. This is configurable in Keyboard Shortcuts.

  • but this does only switch off/dim the monitor. I want to LOCK the screen so that nobody can access my programs from my monitor. May 18, 2011 at 15:49
  • Then tell your screensaver settings to lock it. May 18, 2011 at 15:51
  • I tried that but it says that the "SCREEN WILL NOT BE LOCKED FOR THE ROOT USER". unfortunately, I am logged in as root. May 18, 2011 at 15:54
  • Well that would be your fault. May 18, 2011 at 15:54
