I wanted you to run "sleep 2; xscreensaver-command -lock" on the command line in a terminal window. The sleep is there only to not trigger anything when you release the Enter key.
If you are using Unity you cannot expect xscreensaver to work. Unity has explicitly been made to only use its own screen lock functionality and to not be compatible with other general screensaver daemons. You must ask the Unity developers or switch to another desktop environment. I can recommend LDXE (Lubuntu). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1382775 Title: XScreenSaver doesn't lock screen on suspend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1382775/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
