= Unable to lock screen on Ubuntu
{c}
Happened on <ciro santilli s hardware/P14s> on <Ubuntu 23.10>, which started with fresh Ubuntu 23.10 install.
However it did not happen on <ciro santilli s hardware/Lenovo ThinkPad P51 (2017)> also on <Ubuntu 23.10> which had been upgraded several times from God knows what starting point... At first one had X11 (forced by <Nvidia> drivers) and the other Wayland, but moving to p14s X11 changed nothing.
Both were running <GNOME Display Manager>.
Same happens with Super + L, but also CLI commands: https://askubuntu.com/questions/7776/how-do-i-lock-the-desktop-screen-via-command-line
