How to enable/disable lock screen from the command line in Ubuntu 24.04?

  • 772

I want to disable automatic screen lock in Ubuntu 24.04.

In my case it is both annoying and pointless as it is a VM.

I want to do it from CLI as I expect to execute it for each Ubuntu VM that is not headless.

command-line

    Using the Gnome Desktop, you can disable automatic screen locking after it blanks with the command:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false
