The issue is caused by a recent change in gnome-settings-daemon that adds a 30 sec delay for starting gnome-screensaver. This is the reason for it (directly from source code): /* * We'll start the screensaver after a delay so it doesn't * compete with other processes while the session is starting */
I've attached a patch that adds a new option to gconf for setting a custom delay timeout value. It defaults to 30 seconds. Setting it to 0 will results in gnome-screensaver immediately started, and screen lockable. ** Attachment added: "gnome_screensaver_startup_timeout_customizable.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26012592/gnome_screensaver_startup_timeout_customizable.patch -- Ctl-Alt-L does not lock screen immediately after startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
