No login screen on wake from sleep after recent updates

Issues & Assistance GNOME
49

I also have the same issue; Gnome doesn’t ask to enter a password after sleep/suspend.
And the lock option has also disappeared from the menu list!
It has been having this issue for a month now, so I can’t do a snapshot roll-back.

And I don’t think it is something to do with GDM; screen locking is separate from system login AFAIK.

From my garuda-inxi:

Garuda (2.6.9-1):
  System install date:     2022-10-24
  Last full system update: 2022-10-28 ↻
  Is partially upgraded:   No
  Relevant software:       NetworkManager
  Windows dual boot:       No/Undetected
  Snapshots:               Snapper
  Failed units:            shadow.service systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

I find the same shadow problem as the OP!
My shadow is not working :sweat_smile:

I think this is the issue.
Cause I didn’t have this issue when I had freshly installed Garuda around 20 August.

❯ systemctl status shadow

I then installed ntp,

❯ sudo pacman -Si ntp            
[sudo] password for austin:

URL             : http://www.ntp.org/

and after restarting my shadow :sweat_smile:, the error seems to have gone!

After a restart,

Garuda (2.6.9-1):
  System install date:     2022-10-24

Installing ntp seems to have fixed the shadow issue (maybe something to take note of)

But the issue still persists.

So my shadow wasn’t the culprit after all :sweat_smile:.
