How do I change the length of time the lock screen appears for?
When my screen is locked and I then reawaken it, by moving the mouse or pressing the keyboard, the password entry screen appears. How can I change the amount of time that is taken before the password entry screen turns off?
To be specific:
- I lock my screen Ctrl+Alt+T
- Screen goes blank
- Move mouse to bring up login screen
- If I do nothing else the screen turns off again after 1 minute
In my Brightness and Lock settings I have the screen set to turn off and lock after 10 minutes, but I can't see a setting to determine how long it takes for the screen to turn off after the lock screen has been woken. It seems to be set to 1 minute by default, can this be increased/reduced?

@KhurshidAlam, May I answer for the asker? For example, when you work in two environments in one computer - Windows as a host machine and Ubuntu in VM. So sometimes Ubuntu locks your session when it is not desirable.

A maximum of 15 minutes before the screen blanks isn't a very long time. Would really like to see a 30 minutes or even 60 minute option. It's very annoying when the screen begins to blank in the middle of a video.

Just had the same problem but could not resolve the issue with the answer provided by Kurshid Alam. On Gnome 3.28 using dconf-editor:
The screen saver turns on automatically when the session is considered idle
org . gnome . desktop . screensaver . idle-activation-enabled
The easiest way to delay the screensaver is to increase the time limit for idle
org . gnome . desktop . session . idle-delay
Or using terminal
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay $((15*60)) &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 0 &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true
Beware of possible impacts on laptop battery charge due to other services affected by the idle status.

Press the windows button to get the unity search, then type lock in the search bar.
Open brightness and lock and change the timeout.

Just had the same problem but could not resolve the issue with the answer provided by Kurshid Alam. On Gnome 3.28 using dconf-editor:
The screen saver turns on automatically when the session is considered idle
org . gnome . desktop . screensaver . idle-activation-enabled
The easiest way to delay the screensaver is to increase the time limit for idle
org . gnome . desktop . session . idle-delay
Or using terminal
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay $((15*60)) &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 0 &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true
Beware of possible impacts on laptop battery charge due to other services affected by the idle status.

org . gnome . desktop . session . idle-delay
Or using terminal
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay $((15*60)) &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 0 &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true
Beware of possible impacts on laptop battery charge due to other services affected by the idle status.

Just had the same problem but could not resolve the issue with the answer provided by Kurshid Alam. On Gnome 3.28 using dconf-editor:
The screen saver turns on automatically when the session is considered idle
org . gnome . desktop . screensaver . idle-activation-enabled
The easiest way to delay the screensaver is to increase the time limit for idle
org . gnome . desktop . session . idle-delay
Or using terminal
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay $((15*60)) &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 0 &&
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true

Press the windows button to get the unity search, then type lock in the search bar.
Open brightness and lock and change the timeout.

I am about to go back to 13. I can't find a way to keep the machine from locking itself about every ten minutes. I am so over it.

Not sure but this might be some of your help [ How to adjust screen lock settings on Linux desktop ](xmodulo.com/control-screen-lock-settings-linux-desktop.html) You might need to install dconf-editor

@KhurshidAlam, May I answer for the asker? For example, when you work in two environments in one computer - Windows as a host machine and Ubuntu in VM. So sometimes Ubuntu locks your session when it is not desirable.

A maximum of 15 minutes before the screen blanks isn't a very long time. Would really like to see a 30 minutes or even 60 minute option. It's very annoying when the screen begins to blank in the middle of a video.
