Disable password request from suspend - 18.04

  • 772

How can I disable password request after suspend in Ubuntu 18.04? I have already turned off the screen lock but that didn't fix it.

I am new Ubuntu user. There seems to be lots of information on how to fix this in older versions.

password suspend lock-screen 18.04

    Type the following in the terminal after the $ prompt:

    gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend

    If the result displayed is true then set it to false using:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend false

    NOTE: The above question and this answer is for Ubuntu 18.04.

  2. Disable screen lock after suspend by installing dconf-editor 

    sudo apt install dconf-editor

    then navigate to

    org/gnome/desktop/screensaver and turn off ubuntu-lock-on-suspend.

  3. In Ubuntu 19.04, there is finally a method to configure this without executing commands:

    1. Open the "Settings" program, or start it with gnome-control-center.

    2. Navigate to "Privacy" and click on "Screen locking".

    3. Disable "Lock the screen in standby".

    Internally, it has just the same effect as the command mentioned in another answer here:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend false
