Lock screen not working

in flag

Since updating to Ubuntu 21.10 my lock screen is not working anymore. I'm using budgie desktop and pressing Super+L to lock my screen this happens in syslog:

Same problem. I see `budgie-screensaver` mentioned in other questions but it's nowhere to be found in Ubuntu Budgie 21.10

Found the solution here:

https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/lockscreen-not-working-after-update-to-21-10/5394/20

right - so gnome-shell is screwing up budgie here.

Does this work?

pkill -9 -f /usr/bin/gjs /usr/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.ScreenSaver Wait a couple of seconds then try running

gnome-screensaver

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
