Bug Description

These steps once worked in Ubuntu:

- open terminal
- type: sudo gconf-editor
- navigate to /apps/gnome-power-manager/locks
- disable lock_on_hibernate
- disable lock_on_suspend

Even with these two locks disabled, I still get asked for my password when I resume from suspend.

It's so annoying to enter your password each time you resume from suspend and hibernate... (especially if you had to enter a password to setup the system-wide disk encryption a few seconds before).

work around: hibernate/suspend by others means. e.g. "ctrl+alt+del" menu or pm-suspend (pm-hibernate) on cli

This problem affected me initially in 9.10, but not anymore. In my case I did:
- open gconf-editor (no sudo / root)
- navigate to /apps/gnome-power-manager/locks
- disable lock_on_hibernate
- disable lock_on_suspend

After this the screen would still get locked after a suspend, so I googled to here:) When I used the suggested command (sudo gconf-editor) I found the 2 boxes were still checked. Apparently the gconf settings are different for different users. Unchecking these 2 boxes again resulted in no screen lock after suspend!

Strangely now only the gconf user setting affects locking, the root setting can be set to 'lock->yes'.. If I kill the gnome-power-manager and restart it as root, the gconf root setting does affects the presence of the screen lock after suspend. So for you it might have something to do with the per user setting, but I don't know if this is the case for everybody:)

MoarningSun (slowinthedark) wrote :

A little update about what I said earlier, the problem stilt isn't gone actually. After a restart there's most of the time still a lock after suspend. It seems to depend on if the wireless is active or not and if the sudo password was used in a terminal before going into suspend. So its not really the suspend that locks the screen but something to with the 'default keyring' or something? I'm only an Ubuntu newbie actually so I'll leave it as is now, I just hope someone can have a look in to this or explain some more what's going on..

I'm suffering from this issue as well. (running 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10) This far I've disabled the screen locking through gconf as both my own user and as root, and I also tried disabling it in /etc/default/acpi-support with no effect.

This problem seems to only occur when suspending using the Indicator-Applet-Session applet, suspending with the Shut Down-applet or by closing the laptop lid works correctly.

Revision history for this message
MoarningSun (slowinthedark) wrote :

It appears that these problems are indeed not caused by a bug in gnome-power-manager. In my case, the lock only persists when using the Indicator-Applet-Session or Gnome-Do to initiate the suspend. Suspending with the Shut Down-applet or the dedicated sleep key on my notebook follows the gconf settings. The Indicator-Applet-Session completely bypasses the gnome-power-manager according to bug 501252 so it's logical the gconf setting has no effect. I suspect the same applies for Gnome-Do.

Workarounds that have worked for me are:

- disable screen lock altogether in gconf-editor > desktop > gnome > lockdown

- addressing to devicekit-power directly with the command:
dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Suspend

I've put this last line in a bash script that I can execute quickly with Gnome-Do, so I'm satisfied for the moment.

I too have the same problem on my Toshiba M500 running 9.10 with the latest updates ... but in reverse .... I am trying to make the system prompt for a password upon resume. i have tried the gconf-editor method to no avail. Both in sudo and without it makes absolutely what is checked in the editor ... the system still does NOT prompt upon resume. It used to to so, but since the latest updates it no longer does. Also another weird thing is that the suspend button combo (func+F3) does still suspend the machine BUT when I press the power button to resume (like it used to work) the computer resumes with a frozen cursor, and promptly goes back to sleep .... only a complete power down with the battery out solves this cycle. I am an ubuntu n00b so it is quite difficult for me to diagnose all this, but I have tried all suggested methods and so far have had no luck.

ThePasha (paulhere) wrote :

Just did double check of MoarningSun observation results... it's absolutely correct: gnome-power-manager settings work just fine. Once disabled lock not appear when using either timeout suspend or keyboard hotkey. My workaround appears even simpler, I replaced standard applet with old "Power Down..." applet (look like red power button). It rises window with choice of suspend, log off and shut down options. Almost the same but works correctly (at least on my machine).

TheNinja (uss-ninja) wrote :

Thank you MoarningSun,
for pointing out that there are different config files for different users when using gconf-editor. The lock problem was driving me crazy, since I always used 'gksudo gconf-editor'. Thus i think this is a good advice (most of the time):

** Don't use 'gksudo' in combination with 'gconf-editor' **

While it's quite logical to have different config files for different users, it's not that obvious. I guess a lot of unexpected behavior occurred, because the settings of the wrong user were changed.

i have also this issue in 10.04. additionally if i disable screensaver and disable shutting down monitor if idle for some time i still get a black screen after some minutes of idleing.
it seems some more powersaving options are totally ignored.

anyhow, i will try later some of this mentioned tests and workarrounds to see if how they influence the behaviour.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

- This is a bug and not a papercut.
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

I can also confirm that this issue still exists in 10.04. So if this has been moved to a separate bug report, as Vish said, where is that other bug report? There is also a related issue that I think is only relevant to 10.04 - there is no way to remove the hibernate or sleep options from the indicator menu! Let me know if I can provide any files or other helpful info, it would be awesome if we could fix this by the 10.10 release eh?

Yes, I'm also seeing this in Maverick. When using the indicator applet to suspend, the screen gets locked before entering suspend, no matter what settings are set in /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/. All other means of suspending do as expected.

The only way to stop indicator-applet from locking the screen is to enable /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_lock_screen, but that disables the screen lock entirely, which I do not want.

I also have this same problem in Maverick. The recipe I used is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466504

I have even tried disabling password for this account from the users menu. I have tried disabling all accounts except one. No matter what, I still get a login dialog box. It is not the same dialog box as the main login dialog. I get 'username' with a blank box. I type it in then this goes away and comes back with 'password' and a blank box. Once I type it in, it all comes back. When I set the user to not require a password, I still get the first dialog box asking for username. then it goes directly to the desktop. This is a public account and I want the machine to suspend when not in use and come back when needed.

If I were to log in with my credentials, I would not want this behavior, but the one login is fine. I am pretty happy that I have been able to get WOL working and suspend almost working. If I can get this bug resolved, I am in business! Well, not just this bug. Also my sound card does not want to come back and I have to issue a "sudo alsa force-reload" in order to get sound back when I resume, but that is probably another bug. And I have a workaround for that one...
