Ubuntu – Disable lock screen does not disable the slide up lock screen

18.10desktop-environmentslock-screenscreensaver

Using the instructions in this thread I disabled the lock screen:
Disabling Lock Screen 18.04

…and the phone style slide-up lock screen is still enabled. It is not "locked". However, if I happen to be playing a game, that slide screen function completely locks up my computer. I can't get it back without a hard reboot. I would like a way to completely get rid of the phone style slide up requirement to return to my desktop. Just go from a blank screen (or screen saver) to the desktop when I move my mouse or press a key or anything to wake up the computer.

Ok, here's what I found as a solution, maybe not the best but it works.

sudo dconf_editor

I found these settings:

/org/ukui/power-manager/lock-use-screensaver set to [false]

Result: slideup lockscreen is gone.

/org/ukui/power-manager/lock-blank-screen set to [false]

Result: locking still enabled on blank screen

used the script: 

# script to disable lock-screen
sudo gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'true'

Now lock screen is disabled. No slideup screensaver, I also have the script to re-enable the lock screen:

# script to enable lock-screen
sudo gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'false'
