I tried to unlock but I get this error:

(gdmsetup:2864): polkitgtk-WARNING **: Error obtaining authorization for
action
id `org.gnome.displaymanager.settings.set':
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a
reply
(timeout by message bus)

I solved by editing  /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf as following

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable = true
AutomaticLogin = [myusername]

[security]

[xdmcp]

[greeter]

[chooser]

[debug]

I think you can fix this bug.
