Per How do I stop the screen from being locked on suspend? I want to be able to sleep and resume without the screen locking.
All the previous answers seem to involve fairly Gnome-specific things that won't apply to me but please correct me if I'm incorrect in that assumption!

To make it so that it does not lock on resume do the following:
Power management → Advanced settings
and uncheck "Lock screen on resume"Note for 15.04: This has moved to
Desktop Behaviour → Screen Locking
