[Bug 1380878] Re: lock screen doesnt work

 

It seems that somehow my user got added to the nopasswordlogin group.
Removing my user from this group would solve the problem so I solved
this by going into the terminal and typing in the command line:  sudo
gedit /etc/group and deleting my user name from the nopasswdlogin group
in the text file and then saving the file again. Now I can lock the
screen and the system requests a password on the ubuntu login screen.
The screen wouldn't lock before because there was no password with which
to lock the screen. The system didn't request a password because the
user was in the nopasswordlogin group. Thanks.

Kind Regards

Jorge
