The other day I came across this weirdness. I pressed the lock screen button in the menu and nothing happened. Nothing, it didn't lock, it didn't display any message, nothing. I got into #Fedora and asked around, I was answered quickly, I didn't have my screen saver configured, that's why lock screen doesn't work. I found this rather silly. Locking the screen isn't the same as a screen saver. Screen savers pop up when you don't use your computer for a while. Lock screen however, is used to prevent other users accessing the computer while you're away. I don't use a screen I've disabled it in the screen saver settings, but I do want to lock screen from time to time. Is there any way we could separate the lock screen and the screen saver, so that when I press lock screen, it just works, regardless of my screen saver settings? I don't care what the screen displays when my screen is locked, I don't care at all. I just want it to lock. If it's not possible to separate them, at least give me some kind of message saying I should configure my screen saver, the last thing we want to happen is nothing at all. -- Sindre Pedersen Bjordal <foolish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> www.fedoraforum.org
