Ubuntu – Disable locking the screen after resuming from suspend

passwordsuspend-resume

One thing I like for MacBooks is that they are usable within a second after opening their lid when they were on stand by.

Ubuntu always requires me to enter my password when I resume from suspend, which can be very annoying.
How can I disable this?

It turns out that this really is undesired behavior, and there are several bugs related to this issue.

Start gconf-editor (press ALT-F2, then type gconf-editor).

Seach down to Apps/gnome-power-manager, then click on "lock".

You have two choices : either untick "suspend", or tick "use_screensaver_settings" (of course, you'd then have to go to screensaver preferences and remove the "lock screen" option.

For 11.10

What worked for me on Ubuntu 11.10 is to execute the following in a terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'true'

You can also install dconf-tools and use dconf-editor to set the same setting manually.

Ubuntu – No wireless after resuming from suspend

It doesn't help fix the bug, but here's a workaround.

Use lsmod to find out which wireless driver you're running.
Reproduce the problem.
Kill the module (sudo rmmod [your driver]).

4 Reinsert the module (sudo modprobe [your driver]).

If wireless begins working again, you can create scripts in /etc/pm to do this each time you suspend and resume. It'll add a couple of seconds to reconnecting on resume, but that's all.
