Thread: Automatic screen lock turned off?

-

i had strange happen after tried upgrade ubuntu 12.04. started download first time, saw slow, cancelled it, , waited week. started again, , crashed in middle , ended having re-install system using live cd. @ 12.04, reason have problem persisting:

after first attempt @ upgrading, computer stopped turning screen off or locking screen after turned off. checked screen lock settings , said should turn off screen after 10 mintues , screen goes black lock it. assume turned off during upgrade process prevent computer sleeping while upgrading, why isn't turned on now? inconvenient since when manually ctrl-alt-l lock screen, monitor stays on , shows black needlessly wearing out ccfls in monitor.

know how fix (other remembering turn off monitor , remembering lock computer when walking away)? gui of no since says should locking , that.

also, locking used make screen fade black , sudden when press ctrl-alt-l if symptom of problem (it new behavior...idk).

in system settings there tab called brightness , lock , in can adjust time screen turn off. reduce either 1min or 30sec.

sudden locking don't worry. not problem. on system.

let me know if above advice doesn't you.
