I can't lock the screen in LEAP 15.3 GNOME 3.34.7 on my Asus VivoBook. The button is missing from the top bar, [super] + [L] keyboard combination is ineffective. The screen turns off when I close the lid, but it doesn't lock. In the power settings, I have blank screen after 10 minutes and suspend after 20. It dims after some time, but the screen stays on until it suspends. Again, the screen doesn't lock on suspend. Lock screen works normally in KDE.
Is there a package for lock screen in GNOME? I see KDE has one. Installing LEAP, I chose GNOME desktop for the environment, and added KDE later in the software settings. It defaulted to KDM and KDE. GNOME seems normal otherwise, but maybe something was stripped in the process. I don't know what this would be.
The screensaver and lock screen need GDM running to function. I switched in YaST2-alternatives and it works now.
I think this deserves a Bug Report (in Bugzilla) ;.)
Not needed, this is a mandatory requirement for screen lock to work on GNOME: gdm must be used.
BUT the installation did not set gdm to be used, despite choosing a Gnome install. It set another thing. However, this is a problem in a multiuser machine: what happens if one user uses Gnome, another one uses XFCE, another one uses Plasma. But there can be only one manager. If each desktop demands its own manager, it will be a disaster. Can't all of them agree on a common standard, so that there are managers that are guaranteed to work with any desktop choice? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
