Thanks for reaching out! If you're using Cinnamon as a desktop environment then this will indeed prevent 1Password from offering auto-lock. The reason for this is that there doesn't seem to be a way for 1Password to receive information about whether your system is locked, has gone to sleep, or how long it's been idle for when using this desktop environment.
1Password relies on the desktop environment to report when the system is idle, about to sleep, or locked. You'll see the error message that you quoted if 1Password is unable to detect the system idle time using your current Linux configuration.
Let me know if you have any questions.
