Unable to lock screen as normal user in gnome

If screen-lock is not working with short-cut (Ctrl+Alt+L) or menu or widget etc. then use command

gnome-screensaver-command --lock

and see the reason why lock is not working. If the reason is screensaver is not running then run it using

gnome-screensaver

and then try the lock command again.
