18.04lock-screenscreensaver
I have the lock screen disabled and the screen goes blank after 10 minutes. When I return to my PC and move the mouse, the screen unblanks and I'm presenting with a digital clock display (time and date). I need to press a key to dismiss it (it's not a screen saver or the lock screen, so I don't know what to call it) in order to see my desktop.
Is there any way to disable this? When the screen unblanks, I want to see my desktop, not some other screen.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.
Open System Settings, click Brightness & Lock and select a value for the screen turn off option, Turn screen off when inactive for:
Choose your time delay in the drop-down menu.

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'
