I find the solution, the problem came from a theme installed previously, one i changed it, i can lock my session!
Re: impossible to lock the screen
I up my post, because it's not totally correct.
I can't lock my session until i have put my laptop in sleep mode. That's weird. Also i canno't lock my session with ctrl + alt + L or with the cinnemon menu.

What happens if you run
cinnamon-screensaver-command -l
from the terminal?For custom Nemo actions, useful scripts for the Cinnamon desktop, and Cinnamox themes visit my Github pages.
