Some days ago I turned off screen locking for some hours and then re-enabled it.
Now when the screen turns off it doesn't lock anymore.
These are my settings: Power Management, Lock Screen.
I can still lock the screen via the shortcut Menu > Lock Screen.
Does anyone know where the problem could be?

Re: Screen doesn't lock anymore
The relevant setting is the last one in the power settings: "Start screensaver ..." has to be set to an appropriate value, "never" means, it starts never.
Re: Screen doesn't lock anymore
Oh I see, now it works.
However I think the option is a bit misleading where it says "Lock the computer when the screen turns off", because the screen does turn off even without screensaver.
Wouldn't it be better to reword to "Lock the computer when the screensaver starts", maybe?
By the way, thank you very much
