Description Tadej Janež 2012-03-16 11:59:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
Pressing Ctrl-Alt-L doesn't lock the screen.
I went in the Keyboard configuration tool and double-checked that the key combination for locking the screen is still the same and it is (by default, it is set to Ctrl-Alt-L).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-screensaver-3.2.2-1.fc17.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.3.90-2.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Distribution: Fedora

Hi Ray!

> does Lock Screen from the menu work?

Do you mean the menu in the top right of the screen?
It doesn't have the "Lock screen" option anymore, just the "Log Out..." and "Suspend" options.
Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-03-19 15:04:42 UTC 
what's the output of

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen

?

The output is true. So this means, locking the screen is disabled?

To add a bit more context to the bug report. I was performing Gnome Shell and Extensions Test Day: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-03-15_Gnome_Shell_and_Extensions
and at some point I wanted to lock the live session.

So, is this intentionally disabled for live sessions? If so, why?
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2012-03-20 01:33:07 UTC 
it is disabled because the live user has no password

Ok, then there is no bug.

Matthias and Ray, thanks for your patience and explanation!
