How can I disable password request after suspend in v. 18.04? I have already turned off the screen lock but that didn't fix it.
I am brand new using Ubuntu. There seems to be lots of info on how to fix this in older versions.

For most Ubuntu distributions and versions try this in the terminal:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend
true
If the result is true then set it to false using:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend false
Just remember to reset it before your cleaning person comes over for monthly work.
- Thanks for your response. I followed your directions. The result was true. I put in the command you provided and it responded command not found Did I do something wrong? – Rookie Apr 29 at 20:19

Disable screen lock after suspend by installing dconf-editor
sudo apt install dconf-editor
then navigate to
org/gnome/desktop/screensaver and turn off ubuntu-lock-on-suspend.
You can disable the password from suspend in 18.04 by going into Settings -> Privacy -> Screen Lock -> [Click he Slider from On to Off]
- Did not work for me. WinEunuuchs2Unix's method worked, but as he notes, one has to remember this. – Keith McClary Apr 29 at 19:46
- this does not stop the screen lock activating when resuming from suspend. – Tim Richardson May 25 at 3:13
- For me the settings were all gayed out and inaccessible in 18.04. I resolved that by "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false" to make the settings changeable again. – Bim Jul 29 at 16:32
