I've just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and I want to disable the lock screen. I don't want to see it at all, neither on power-on nor after suspension.

I tried:

Settings -> Privacy -> Screen Lock -> and changed 'Automatic Screen Lock' to 'Off'.

The lock screen still appears after suspension.

Any suggestions?

  None of the answers seem to actually completely turn off that slider screen that appears when idle.

You can disable the lock screen permanently. This not only means when waking from suspend but also due to inactivity.

First use this command to discover current settings:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen
false

Now set it to true using this command:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'true'

If you are unhappy with the new setting you can reverse it using:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'false'

  Sounds very promising, but doesn't make any difference for me. I've changed the setting to true but the "privacy" screen still comes over the desktop after a period of time. Turning off locking in the system settings means I don't have to re-enter my password, but I still need to swipe the screen up to get back to where I was. Fresh Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.1 install.

  @HeathRaftery On my system, you can hit escape instead of swiping up with the mouse. Still annoying, but perhaps not as awful as the swipe gesture. And +1 to the thought that this answer isn't a solution to the problem, unfortunately.

  You mean it doesn't "stick" when you use gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true? Or you mean the setting is accepted but has no effect?

Try this approach:

1. Launch terminal


2. Run gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false
