How do I disable the swipe to unlock curtain?
6,150
Open Ubuntu Software Center, click search sign at the right upper corner of the window and type in the search field "Gnome extensions disable screen shield" phrase. You'll see the "Disable Screen Shield" Gnome shell extension.
Install the extension and voila - the curtain has disappeared.

My computer is not a phone. This swipe to unlock thing is ridiculous. Yes, I know Esc is supposed to substitute for the swipe, but the whole curtain thing does not interact well with my video setup. I want to disable the curtain completely. When I wake my computer from sleep, I want to instantly see the desktop.
How do I do this?
Some stuff about my setup:
$ lsb_release -a LSB Version: core-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch:security-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic
xorg-server 2:1.19.6-1ubuntu4
