+ Impact
+ ======
+ A user who installs gnome-shell in Ubuntu 17.04 and earlier is asked to
choose between gdm and lightdm. If the user chooses lightdm, the GNOME session
will not have a lock button in the system status menu in the top right corner.
+
+ Workaround
+ ==========
+ The keyboard shortcut Super+L still works to lock your screen.
+
Test Case
=========
1. a. From Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, install unity-greeter. Choose lightdm as your
default.
b. Restart
c. Log in to GNOME
- d. Click the far right of the top bar. The lock icon is missing.
+ d. Click the far right of the top bar. Make sure that the lock button
exists. Click it. Your screen should lock.
Or
- 2. a. From Ubuntu (Unity) 17.04, install ubuntu-gnome-desktop or gnome-shell.
Choose lightdm as your default if asked.

+ 2. Make sure that the screen lock also still works if you use GDM
+ instead.
+
+ Regression Potential
+ ====================
+ This patch update just allows LightDM to lock the screen if GDM is not
running.
Other Info
==========
GNOME didn't accept our LightDM patches when we proposed them a few years
ago, so this will just need to be fixed in Ubuntu for now.
