After a lot of reading through logs and trying to manually trigger the screensaver using: $ dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock I found the following in the log: gnome-shell[2762]: Screen lock is locked down, not locking Searching for that error resulted in me finding this: https://askbot.fedoraproject.org/en/question/122030/screen-lock-is-locked-down-not-locking/ and indeed it seems that somehow screen lock had become disabled: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true $ Running: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false Got things working again! No idea how the screen lock became disabled... but it's working now.
