Hello,
I setup the screen locking in setting -> Privacy (screen lock on) But it seems that it is not enough because it never turn on to lock. What else do I need to do ?
Thank.
Regards.

Screen locking is relative to screen blanking. What is your screen blank time set to in the Power control panel?
OK, Thank.
However, I would like that the lock be activated only when I login from my desk, and not when I login remotely by using remmina. It is possible to set up something ?
Thank.

I don't think so. Why would there be a difference? When you're using remmina, you're still using the local desktop screen as if you were actually there.

Are you, though? Isn't that a forwarded X connection? If so, the system might not honor the screen locks and such since you're not using the local keyboard/mouse.

I was assuming the typical case where you're using vino for screen sharing. In that case, it is screen-scraping the X server, so you see what is displayed on your monitor. That's why I need to remember to turn off my monitors when I leave work, so anyone walking by can't see what I'm doing. :-)
If what Patrick is doing is something different than that, then the options might be different as well.
Thank for the comments.
Now, I remember why I turned off the screen lock at my office. Because when I logged in through remmina (from home), if the remote X terminal screen locks on, then I could not login any more into my session. I had to kill it from another session. It is why I though that when I log remotely, there is probably an environment variable which has a different value (compared to a straight login). I could test this variable through a .bashrc and decide to active or not the screen lock. It looks like some thing which makes sense to me.
Thank.

That is strange. I've been doing remote access to my work desktop for years and don't have a problem with the lock screen. There was a period of time a couple of years ago where I would sometimes have to restart gnome-shell to be able to get back in, but I don't think it was specific to remote access. I think it was something to do with me switching to single screen from dual screen before leaving. I haven't had any issues with it for a long time.
