Are you using any GNOME Shell extensions? If you are, does this problem
persist when you disable them using gnome-shell-extension-prefs or
gnome-tweaks?

When you try to lock the screen, what messages appear in the systemd
journal?

(This is working fine for me; I suspect others in the GNOME team would
also quickly notice if the lock screen was entirely broken.)

siduction is not Debian (it's a derivative with some modified packages,
like Ubuntu), and if a bug is not reproducible on a purely Debian system
we are unlikely to be able to fix it.
