    disable screen lock after sleep

    I've searched for possible solutions, and this did not help:

    - uncheck all (use_screensaver_settings, suspend, blank screen, etc...) in gconf-editer /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock
    - check disable_lock_screen in /desktop/gnome/lockdown
    - LOCK_SCREEN=false in /etc/default/acpi-support

    It's still show password prompt after I wake my laptop from sleep.

    what else should I try?

    I'm having the same problem. This is a particularly irritating bug because not even the hackish workarounds do anything to change the situation.

    System - Preferences - Screensaver
    Needed to uncheck "Lock screen when screensaver is active"

    I've done all of the above, and it still asks for a password from suspend. I even rebooted to make sure the settings were kept, they were. It comes back from suspend to a screen saver, but then asks for a password, even though it doesn't if I just let the screensaver activate with the timer.

    There's a bug in the indicator-applet-session (the panel applet with shutdown buttons etc) that causes it to lock the screen when suspending (or switching users etc), regardless of what the actual gconf settings for screen locking are.

    Currently there's no workaround other than using some other means to suspend the machine than through that applet.

    Yeah, I found that out. The laptop works fine to resume passwordless from suspend if I do an Fn-F1 of close the lid. Working on getting suspend to work on the desktop now...

    I have since found an easy way around it, at least if your running Karmic (don't know about earlier releases). Just hit CTRL-ALT-DEL, that brings up a menu much like the indicator-applet-session would. Suspending that way the system will not ask for a password when coming out of suspend, assuming you have it set that way.

    Open up gconf-editor

    Go to /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/

    Uncheck suspend and hibernate.

    Cheers.

    Re: disable screen lock after sleep

    Here's my solution. It works on the Gateway LT2115u (LT-Series) which is a rebranded Acer Aspire One 532h.

    Open the terminal, and type gconf-editor. Do NOT use sudo or you will not change the settings for your own user account!
    In the left pane of the window that comes up go to apps > gnome-power-manager > lock .
    On the right, UNCHECK suspend and hibernate and everything else except for use_screensaver_settings (this is the only one that is CHECKED)

    Now go to main menu: system > preferences > screen saver
    At the bottom of the window that comes up, uncheck "lock screen when screensaver is active"

    The following commands should do the same thing...
    Code:
    gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/blank_screen false
    gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/gnome_keyring_hibernate false
    gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/gnome_keyring_suspend false
    gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/hibernate false
    gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/suspend false
    gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock_use_screensaver_settings true
    gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled false
    Desktop: KX Studio (Kubuntu 12.04)
    Laptop & Netbook: Kubuntu 12.04
    Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
