[Bug 1380093] [NEW] autologin prevents the lock from working

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrade to 14.04, I notice I can no longer lock my screen.  After
more debugging, it was due to the fact that I have autologin enabled.

Autologin is needed, so when my machine starts up due to whatever
reason.  But I would like to be able to lock the screen, and thus
require a password to unlock (per configuration) if needed (or when it
goes idle).
