No password required after hibernate despite lock settings enabled #12852

System Information:

  • Linux Mint: 22.1 (xia)
  • Kernel: 6.8.0-57-generic
  • Cinnamon: 6.4.8
  • Desktop Environment: Cinnamon

Issue:
When returning from hibernate, the system does not require authentication despite having the following security settings enabled:

  • org.cinnamon.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled = true
  • org.cinnamon.settings-daemon.plugins.power lock-on-suspend = true
  • org.cinnamon.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled = true

Expected Behavior:

  • System should require password authentication when returning from hibernate
  • This is a basic security feature that should work by default

Actual Behavior:

  • System returns from hibernate without requesting authentication
  • Screen lock settings appear to be ignored during the hibernate/resume cycle

Security Impact:
This is a security concern as anyone can access the system and all open applications after hibernate without authentication.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Configure screen lock settings as listed above
  2. Hibernate the system
  3. Wake the system
  4. Observe that no password is required to access the desktop

Additional Notes:

  • Manual screen locking works correctly (using dm-tool lock or Ctrl+Alt+L)
  • Screen lock works properly for screen timeout
  • Only the hibernate-resume cycle appears to bypass the lock screen

It happens to me also, but after second or two lockscreen appears. I never use hybernation, but after suspending for 7-10 hours and awakening the system it happens
