Since updating to Ubuntu 21.10 my lock screen is not working anymore. I'm using budgie desktop and pressing Super+L to lock my screen this happens in syslog:

Found the solution here:

https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/lockscreen-not-working-after-update-to-21-10/5394/20

right - so gnome-shell is screwing up budgie here.

Does this work?

pkill -9 -f /usr/bin/gjs /usr/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.ScreenSaver Wait a couple of seconds then try running

gnome-screensaver

Thanks for the idea! I had the same problem when upgraded from Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 to 22.04 and "Lock" button stopped working. It started working again after removing gnome-shell: sudo apt-get remove gnome-shell.

But (!) in result unfortunately all the icons on my desktop stopped working and clicking any icon does nothing even after re-installing gnome-shell.
