I am new to Ubuntu. I just installed it as a VM on VirtualBox. Every time the screen locks, I see the time. I am trying to suppress the display of the time. According to this page, I have to edit /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css and set font-size to 0pt. The only file under in the folder tree /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme, however, is Yaru/gnome-shell-theme/gresource, and it is binary.

There is a file /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com/ubuntu.css, but it is 0 bytes.

Is there any (simple) way to disable display of the time on the lock screen?

I am using ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.

For now, I disabled the lock screen, but I really just want to disable display of the time. Disabling the lock screen doesn't really help anyway because it the lock screen is momentarily displayed before being removed. It is quite stressful being reminded of the exact time when you already know it's quite late and you're trying to get stuff done. It certainly doesn't help one to get to sleep when one decides to call it quits.

  • I am grateful to you for having prepared the script, and I'm sorry for what I will say next, but I don't understand it enough to run it with confidence. Maybe I can linger a bit and see if someone more knowledgeable is going to give it a spin. – user2153235 Oct 30 '21 at 04:38
