How to disable screenlock?

nomko · 2015-10-26 18:46:31

Hi,

How can i avoid that my scren locks after a few minutes? I already have the screensaver turned off but screenlock is still enabled. I'm using Linux Mint 17.2 Xfce.

Many thanks!

Which screen locking program were you using and how did you turn it off?

Is the screen just blanking now or is also locking?

What do the following commands return?

ps -ef | grep lock
ps -ef | grep saver

1st command ps -ef | grep lock:

root 73 2 0 21:41 ? 00:00:00 [kblockd]
nomko 2191 2154 0 21:42 ? 00:00:00 indicator-keylock
nomko 3552 3540 0 22:09 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto lock

2nd command ps -ef | grep saver:
nomko 3558 3540 0 22:10 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto saver

or look for an installed package eg:

LANG=C aptitude search ~dlock~dscreen|sort

so you use gnome-screensaver, just remove it if you don't need a screen saver and locker

Ok, i uninstalled gnome-screensaver. I also found a setting in the Xfce powermanager configuration to set the screen to disable instead of locking it when i close my laptop lid. I hope everything works now as i want it.

Thanks for your help!
