I've already followed the method to deactivate automatic screen lock as explained in this article. However, when the screen turns off and I shake the mouse or press a key to wake it up, I'm still greeted with the lock screen (pictured below).
How can I disable entirely the Gnome lock screen, so that when I wake up the screen, it shows my desktop/apps and not this useless lock screen?
Please note that, unlike this question, I still want the screen to turn off after a period of inactivity, but I don't want the lock screen to show up when I wake the screen up.
Launch either Extensions utility or Gnome Tweaks > Extensions (install it via Ubuntu Software), go to the extension settings page, and finally set a picture for lock screen background. That's All. Enjoy!
Disable / Turn Off Ubuntu Lock Screen on Ubuntu 22.04 step by step instructions. On your desktop, open up the top right menu and click on the gear wheel ( settings ) icon. From there click on Privacy tab in the left panel, followed by the Lock screen menu. Flip the Automatic Screen Lock switch into the OFF position.
Please try gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true
. It works on Arch, should work on Ubuntu. If you prefer GUI: dconf-editor > org > gnome > desktop > lockdown > …etc
The only way I found is to use a Gnome extension called Disable Screen Shield.
