Asked for password on resume with Automatic Login enabled

[Cas]

I have enabled Automatic Login but when resuming from suspend I am always asked for my password.

This does not occur in Natty.

Tested with Oneiric 11.10 Beta2

I have found that when power management suspends there is no password on resume so this only affects manually suspending Oneiric.

Thank you for your bug report, autologin is a different option from the screen locking, is the system settings, screen preference having screen locking enabled?

[Cas (calumlind)]

The screen lock is disabled and does not ask for a password when the screen blanks.

From what I read the functionality of suspend/hibernate should be that it always asks for a password when resuming except if the user has enabled automatic login. So this works when power management suspends the machine, as I have enabled automatic login, but when I manually suspend it asks for a password.

Interesting, where did you read that? how do you suspend (lid close, indicator; ..)

I think it was a gnome bug report about a similar issue and there was a comment that is was the expected functionality. Afraid I don't know which one exactly.

I usually use the indicator but just tested with the lid close and that resumes without password!

Searching the closed gnome bugs I found something very similar:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563836
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bug/666746

A workaround was suggested so I used dconf-editor to find "org.gnome.desktop.lockdown" and change "disable-lock-screen" to True. Testing the suspend option from the indicator menu now resumes without password.

The issue a gnome-settings-daemon one
