Whenever I lock the screen on my USB Ubuntu install be it manually or automatically when I get back it just shows the desktop again without asking for a password.

How can I enable the password lock again? This way it's quite useless.

Thanks for your time.

  • do you have automatic login enabled (not on the screensaver/lock, i mean when the system first boots up)?

  • Just checked, have gnome-screensaver running, and I don't want to switch as it should work just fine, trying to figure out what's wrong.

  • i wrote up this answer for a guy looking for passwordless logins on ubuntu. if i were you i'd check PAM settings for sanity. same guy asked another question in which i did some digging around on how the screensaver lock works -- that stuff about DBus didn't end up helping him but maybe it'll point you in the right direction.

I guess this is just a bug in the usb version of ubuntu, finally have a laptop so no need for ubuntu usb installs.
