I am experiencing a very frustrating issue while running Xubuntu 13.04.

It seems like Xubuntu does not need to require the password, when pulling the lid over.

I already tried to search for a fix on the world wide web: unfortunately, I did not find any working solution about it.

Then, I decided to search on Ask Ubuntu for a conceivable settlement: I read about a similar issue right in this thread -> Xubuntu: No password request after suspension

I tried to follow both of the solutions therein listed, but (unfortunately) I had no luck in solving the problem.

Can You kindly consider to help me finding a better elucidation?

Thank you so much in advance.

Have you tried xscreensaver?

Install it by following commands if not already installed:
```
sudo apt-get -f install xscreensaver
```

Open it from Application Menu -> Settings -> Screensaver or type xscreensaver in your terminal

Under Display Mode tab tick the Lock Screen After check-box after giving appropriate value.

Alternate way to get the lock screen

xautolock and xlock would definitely help you if above doesn't work for you.

Install two packages by executing following commands:
```
sudo apt-get install xautolock xlockmore
```

Once installed press Alt+F2 to and type xautolock -time 1 and press Enter to run xlock daemon.

Wait and see.. :) Your screen will be locked in 1 minute. You can give any time you want. you're screen will be locked after every idle of 1 minute.

To stop the xlock daemon _{i,e if you don't want to lock your screen any more} type followng command in terminal:
```
xautolock -exit
```

Reply if it helps you too.. :) Please give me some time so that I could write the script to run the xlock daemon on every system start.
