No screen lock by default in LMDE 201204 RC

[petaramesh]

Hi,

In a fresh install of LDME 201204 RC, one cannot lock screen in Cinnamon, unless one has manually installed "gnome-screensaver", which is not part of the default install.

(You need to logout and back in once installed)

Not being able to lock one's screen, even though the options are there, is a bug.

Hello,

I am having the same problem here. Not working for me. Did anyone ever find a solution for this?

Thanks!!!

Edit: Found a possible solution. I just type this into the terminal:
gnome-screensaver-command -a

(this -a is ACTIVATE. Works for gnome-screensaver-command 3.2.2)

Maybe you need to do first a:
sudo apt-get install gnome-screensaver

And it seems, CTRL-ALT-L (screen lock combo) works. LOL
