[Bug 1959458] Re: Lock screen disabling needs updating

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-release-upgrader - 1:22.04.5

---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:22.04.5) jammy; urgency=medium

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * debian/control: rename the main branch
  * Increase the fallback KERNEL_INITRD_SIZE so that there is room for
    commonly used modules in the initramfs subsequently some upgrades may be
    disallowed due to a lack of free space in /boot.
  * Run pre-build.sh: updating mirrors, demotions, and translations.

  [ Nick Rosbrook ]
  * Update download rates in estimated download message (LP: #1947581)
  * Use org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver to inhibit screen lock (LP: #1959458).
    This approach also works in Kubuntu.

Title:
  Lock screen disabling needs updating

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Jammy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The release upgrade process is supposed to disable your lock screen so
  that if something goes wrong you still have access to the system.
  However, this seems to be broken for upgrades to at least Jammy.

  DistUpgradeQuirks.py has code to kill gnome-screensaver and poke xdg-
  screensaver, however neither of those processes are running on my
  Impish system. There is a /usr/libexec/gsd-screensaver-proxy process
  but killing that didn't stop the screen from locking.
