When my computer is locked, I am presented with the default Ubuntu lockscreen. When I enter my password and unlock it, I am presented with the Cinnamon 2 lock screen and I have to enter my password again.
How can I disable the Cinnamon 2 lock screen?
Note: I've installed Cinnamon 2 with these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon
After a bit of searching in dconf-editor (inspired by the other answers and not gconf), I found the schema
org → cinnamon → desktop → lockdown
which contains a key called disable-lock-screen, set that to true (checked) to disable the Cinnamon lock screen.
To turn lock screen off:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true
To turn back on:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false
After installing Cinnamon the way you did, and running it, opening gconf-editor, I coudn't find a cinnamon entry under desktop, only gnome. You can disable the Gnome lock screen, and see if that helps.
Uninstalling gnome-screensaver fixed the double lock issue for me.
If you prefer the gnome-screensaver, as OP does, simply remove cinnamon-screensaver instead.
you have to install gconf editor for that. after install gconf editor , open it navigate as desktop - cinnamon - lockscreen or desktop - gnome - lockscreen . there you can disabled the cinnamon lock screen.
I think cinnamon using gnome lock screen.
try it.
I installed xscreensaver on my system but cinnamon-screensaver still butts in and takes over.
An easy solution is this:
sudo mv /usr/bin/cinnamon-screensaver /usr/bin/cinnamon-screensaver.bak
then:
sudo vi /usr/bin/screensaver
and add the following lines:
#! /bin/bash
exit 0
