[SOLVED] Gnome Shell - Lock Screen not working

There is not an Lock button on the upper-right "Power" icon of my Gnome Shell...
Combination keys Super+L or CTRL+ALT+L does nothing too...
The package gnome-screensaver is installerd...
The system is full updated...

How can I lock the screen?

SOLUTION:
I had not "gdm" installed, but only "lightdm"
the commands to solve:

sudo pacman -S gdm
sudo systemctl disable lightdm && sudo systemctl enable gdm

You need to login with GDM for gnome-shell's lock screen to work.
