Comment 22 for bug 1652489

Hi,

I'm seeing this issue as well (the screensaver doesn't lock) on a fresh install. Prior to this install, it was working OK.

I noticed the following in my .xsession-errors, and I believe it might shed some light on the issue:

error starting cinnamon-screensaver-pam-helper: Failed to execute child process "/usr/share/cinnamon-screensaver/pamhelper/cinnamon-screensaver-pam-helper" (No such file or directory)

I tried a reinstall of cinnamon-screensaver and cinnamon-screensaver-pam-helper, but it did not create that file or a symlink to it. I haven't dug in to the post install script, but I'll be happy to debug that if you need.
