My Ubuntu 12.04 suddenly stopped to auto-lock after X minutes. It doesn't matter how long I leave the computer idle, it NEVER turns the screen off and never locks the screen either.
I am using Gnome-shell. Under the Brightness and Lock menu, I have marked:
- Dim screen to save power
- Turn screen off when idle for 5 minutes
- Lock screen after 5 minutes
I have already re-installed gnome-screensaver (no effect). Any ideas?

Start the terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T, and then type:
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools- Start dconf-editor
- UnCheck(if the option check means) org->gnome->desktop->lockdown-> disable-lock-screen (for verify - goto System settings->Brightness & Lock: check the Lock option enable or not).
- Close the editor.
- Restart the system & see the changes.
